“We have made ourselves sustainable success, that’s the crucial part. We have found that working together as a region working together in terms of when the water rises all boats benefit and float higher, we have learned that the hard way, we have really worked together, through thick and thin, and sometimes it wasn’t easy. To explain to an urban business the importance of agri-business, you have to really not only be able to explain it to others, but before you can do that you really have to understand it yourself. So our knowledge has deepened. And we are now been able to make our cause for this region with real conviction.” Mary Pat Hancock, Chair Genesee County Legislature
