The Cattaraugus County Planning Board presented, at its June 14, 2006 Annual Dinner meeting, the 2006 Brooks Patterson Community Leadership Award to Nancy Frazier for her outstanding leadership, in community planning and development of a Comprehensive Plan for the Town of Humphrey in Cattaraugus County. The meeting was held at the Randolph Volunteer Fireman's Reception Hall in Randolph, New York with 87 people in attendance. The topic of the evening was “Planning and Zoning Issues Related to Wind Farms”.
The recipients of this annual award are chosen to give countywide recognition to leaders and volunteers who make lasting contributions to the people and communities of Cattaraugus County and its region and who exemplify the outstanding spirit and example that Torrance Brooks and Donald Patterson set during their lifetime of dedicated service to their respective communities, County Legislature, County Planning Board, and regional agencies.
As a member of the Town of Humphrey Planning Board from 2003 to 2004 and chairperson during 2005, Nancy developed and put together, with assistance from the members of the Town of Humphrey Planning Board, and guidance from the Cattaraugus County Planning Board staff, a Comprehensive Plan for the Town of Humphrey. This Plan was approved by the County in the Fall of 2005 and adopted by the Town of Humphrey in January 2006. It is the first land use tool of any kind adopted by the Town of Humphrey.
Nancy states, “As a lifetime resident, I enjoy living in the beautiful countryside of Cattaraugus County, and I was happy to be able to put together a Comprehensive Plan for the Town of Humphrey that will preserve our wonderful rural area for my grandchildren.”
