CARMEL, NY –County Executive Kevin Byrne will host his annual “Trailblazing with Byrne” constituent forums at all four Putnam County senior centers. Each event begins with a scheduled time of informal discussion about various topics regarding Putnam County. This will be followed by a brief walk along a nearby trail or walking path where some more informal conversation continues, and participants get to enjoy some exercise as they promote healthy living and take in the natural beauty of the area.
This year’s Trailblazing events will feature several parks, trails, and preserved open spaces throughout the county.
“I’ve done these forums for several years, even prior to being elected county executive and they are always incredibly valuable for myself, my office, and I hope, for the residents that attend,” said Byrne. “I believe it’s important to meet with constituents face-to-face, update them on the work we’ve done, listen to their concerns, and learn from them about issues that matter most. And of course, I just enjoy highlighting our beautiful outdoor spaces and promoting healthy living with a fun walk outdoors.”
As he has done every year, Byrne committed to hosting constituent forums in each of the six towns in Putnam County.
