Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell will present the State of the County address at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 15, at Putnam County Golf Course, 187 Hill Street in Mahopac.  Prior to the address, there will be a Putnam County Market Place which will open at 5:30 p.m.

As she has in the past, Odell has chosen to highlight a particular theme for the year. Odell has decided that 2018 will be “The Year of the Volunteer.”

“From our first responders to our Scouts, Chambers and Rotaries—volunteers play such an important role in the quality of life in our communities,’” said Odell. “I want to recognize those people who give of their time to help others and make Putnam County a better place to live, work and play.”

In addition, the Putnam County Market Place will highlight businesses, organizations and not-for-profits from throughout county that make Putnam the place to live, work and play.  Organization that would like to participate in the Putnam County Market Place can contact Heidi Kuhland at 845-808-1150 x49406 or Heidi.kuhland@putnamcountyny.gov.
