You may have heard about the recent proposal by Governor Cuomo to streamline NY's Hunting and Fishing License's. The proposal reduces the number of licenses from 17 to 7, reduces costs for most license categories, while maintaining support for the State's Fish and Wildlife programs.
In an effort to fully inform the public about the proposal, DEC will be holding meetings around the state during the next two weeks. In order to provide as many opportunities as possible for people to be informed about the proposal, two additional meetings have been scheduled since the e-mail sent earlier. Region 6 staff will be holding a total of four meetings to explain the proposal and answer questions that people might have.
1.The Watertown meeting will be held on Thursday, February 28th, from 7-9 PM in Room 3, on the 11th floor of the Watertown State Office Building, at 317 Washington Street in Watertown, NY.
2.The Utica meeting will be held on Thursday, February 28th, from 7-9 PM, in Room A & B, on the 1st floor of the Utica State Office Building, at 207 Genesee Street, in Utica, NY.
3.A meeting is scheduled on Tuesday, March 5th, from 7-9 PM, in the Middle School Cafeteria, at the Gouverneur High School, 113 East Barney Street, Gouverneur, NY. The cafeteria where the meeting will take place is in the Middle School, but the High and Middle Schools are connected. The main entrance to the school is a canopy entrance fronting Barney St, which leads directly into the high school lobby.
4.Another Utica meeting is scheduled on Wednesday, March 6th, from 7-9 PM, in Room A & B, on the 1st floor of the Utica State Office Building, at 207 Genesee Street, in Utica, NY.
