The wooden dock swayed as the Cortland County officials boarded a boat to spend an afternoon in the sun away from the Cortland County Office Building. It was work-related. Honest.
The legislators and other officials toured Dwyer Memorial Park in Preble, led by the Cortland County Soil and Water Conservation District, which is marking its 75th anniversary this month.
When district officials were unable to give a presentation at last month’s Cortland County Legislature meeting, they invited legislators to visit the park to see the programs for themselves. Five of the 17 legislators joined Barber and her staff.
