Village of Schoharie Mayor Henry

“As a newly elected official, I have had the opportunity to turn to SEEC for assistance in the overwhelming elements involved in various grant projects in my community. Julie Pacatte and Trish Bergan have been ever so helpful, accessible, and proficient. The village of Schoharie benefits from having a relationship with this professional and responsive corporation. I consider this organization a friend to the Village and a comfort to me.”

Mayor Colleen M. Henry, Village of Schoharie
