What’s new:

• Introduced Zoning Law Resources Page
  This Introduced law is a revision of the law released for public review by the Planning Board in January 2010. It incorporates many changes in response to both public comments as well as the work of the Zoning Law Task Force.

• Home Energy Savings (Cornell Cooperative Extension Tompkins County)
  The average NY home spends over $2,600 per year on energy for electricity, heat and hot water. Amazingly, it is possible to save between 20 and 60% of that amount—up to $1,500 a year! See how much you can save in your home by visiting our savings checklist and then find out how to do this by navigating the green Energy Efficiency Path below.
• Environmental Map Update
  With the help of the Tompkins County GIS department, we have converted the old environmental website into a new interactive map service. The new site works like google maps (zoomable and scrollable) and this updated service includes new environmental layers such as parks, preserves, and roadside wetlands. We are currently still working on this service, please be patient while we work out the kinks. Environmental Map Help
