Abstract:
CGR compiled information for an in-depth community profile of Schenectady County showing how the county was doing in a wide range of areas affecting the quality of life for Schenectady residents. The report presented data on 59 indicators showing the county's status in achieving success by six, building futures for youth, meeting essential needs, strengthening families, maintaining senior independence and building stronger communities. The profile was developed through a community engagement process and was intended as a tool for community leaders for planning and bringing about needed improvements.
