2020 Program Take Me Home! Presents: GVC horizontal logo (I have one with a clear background if I didn’t send that already)Genesee Valley 100 “SilentA ArtCommunity Auction” Painting Project “Friday – August 7th” “” “Program” or “catalog” -Image of one of the pieces, or? 2020 Farm Pond by Judy Soprano Our Mission: To protect the habitat, open space, and farmland of the Genesee Valley region. Through Genesee Valley Conservancy, the community has protected 21,360 acres of unique habitats, productive farmland, and scenic open space since 1990. www.GeneseeValleyConservancy.org #GeneseeValley100 The Genesee Valley is a beautiful place to live. With this project, we hope to increase the appreciation of the Genesee Valley in a way that will inspire continued conservation efforts by the community. Clean air, water, and a vibrant agricultural economy all depend on maintaining open space and the natural resources around us. As we celebrate 30 years of local conservation, we have accomplished a great deal, but more work needs to be done. You can support our efforts by purchasing a painting or making a direct gift this year. I hope you enjoy this fantastic collection of original paintings as much as I have! Benjamin Gajewski Executive Director www.GeneseeValleyConservancy.org #GeneseeValley100 Page 2 The Genesee Valley 100 was made possible by generous support from About Steed Energy Glenn Steed installs solar energy systems throughout New York, primarily focusing on residential systems in the Rochester region that can replace 100% of your homes electricity needs. Case Study: Conservancy Office at 1 Main Street In 2019, Steed Energy installed a 5.5kW system on Genesee Valley Conservancy’s office in the national historic landmark village of Geneseo. This system offsets 100% of our electric usage and avoids 3.9 tons of carbon pollution each year! Over the next 25 years, we’ll avoid nearly 100 tons of carbon pollution as a result of using renewable energy. Financially, in seven years we’ll break even and after 25 years we’ll have seen a 70% savings on electricity, meaning less operating costs and more investment into protecting land.

  • A Comparison of Environments
    8-1 Trip B A COMPARISON OF ENVIRONMENTS by Thomas X. Grasso, Chairman Department of Geosciences Monroe Community College The Middle Devonian Hamilton Group ~ the Genesee Valley The Devonian System of New York State varies from carbonates at the bottom (Helderbergian and Ulsterian Sex'ies) to coarse con- tinental clastics at the top ("Chautauquan Series) and represents a westward migrating deltaic complex built during Middle and Late Devonian time, (Rickard, 1964). This deltaic complex, the Catskill Delta, is today represented by a wedge of sedimentary rock that thickens and coarsens eastward toward the Hudson River. These rocks are highly fossiliferous and structurally simple, thereby, lending themselves to detailed faunal, stratigraphic and paleoecologic studies. Since the Middle and Upper Devonian of New York represents a deltaic complex, at any instant in time during the Devonian there existed a series of transitional environments aligned approximately parallel to the old shoreline from west to east or offshore deep water to onshore shallow water. These contemporaneous environments are not only transitional with one another laterally, but they also succeed each other vertically since the delta prograded westward across New York State. Each environment is today characterized by its own distinctive rock type and fossil assemblage. For example, B-2 the fine shale deposits of the Middle Devonian in the west (Lake Erie) gradually coarsen to siltstones and sandstones eastward (Catskills). The fine shales of the Middle Devonian on Lake Erie are in turn succeeded by the ~oarser siltstones and sandstones of the Upper Devonian. The purpose of this field trip will be to sample and contraet several offshore Devonian biotopes representing two major environ­ ments; a poorly oxygenated phase of dark shales ("Cleveland" facies), and an oxygenated environment of soft calcareous blue-gray shales and limestones ("Moscow" facies).

  • Federal Fiscal Year 2017 (October 1, 2016 Through September 30, 2017)
    GENESEE TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL Annual Listing of Federally Obligated Projects for Federal Fiscal Year 2017 (October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017) Purpose Federal regulations require an “Annual Listing” of transportation projects, including investments in pedestrian walkways and bicycle facilities, for which federal funds have been obligated in the preceding year be made available for public review by the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The listing must be consistent with the funding categories identified in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). In order to meet this requirement, Genesee Transportation Council (GTC) staff solicited information from the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and the Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation Authority (RGRTA), and compiled a list of projects located in the seven-county NYSDOT-Region 4 area for which federal transportation funds were obligated in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2017 (i.e., between October 1, 2016 and September 30, 2017). An obligation is the U.S. Department of Transportation's legal commitment to pay the federal share of a project's cost. Projects for which funds have been obligated are not necessarily initiated or completed in a given program year, and the amount of the obligation in a single year will not necessarily equal the total cost of the project. Background The U.S. Department of Transportation requires every metropolitan area with a population over 50,000 to have a designated MPO to qualify for receipt of federal highway and public transportation funds. The Governor of New York State designated GTC as the MPO responsible for transportation planning in the nine-county Genesee-Finger Lakes region, which includes Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Wayne, Wyoming, and Yates counties.

Those summer storms – as well as Superstorm Sandy, Hurricane Irene, and Tropical Storm Lee – signal that we need to rebuild our communities in a way that will mitigate against future risks and build increased resilience. To meet these pressing needs, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo led the charge to develop an innovative, community-driven program. The NY Rising Community Reconstruction (NYRCR) Program provides the State’s most impacted communities with the technical expertise needed to develop reconstruction strategies to build more resilient communities.
