Otsego County is located in the heart of the historic Leatherstocking Region of New York State, equidistance from Albany, Binghamton, and Syracuse. While probably best known for attractions such as the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, and the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Oneonta, Otsego County is also home to natural attractions, friendly people, and sound planning.                                                                                                                                    

Our Mission

 Our goal is to provide sound planning to the county and advise and recommend goals and objectives to all constituent towns and villages in Otsego County.
