The resolution was introduced by Supervisor Robert Shipley of Waterloo and seconded by Supervisor Robert Hayssen of Varick.
Senator Michael Nozzolio and Gary Westfall, Chairman of the Seneca County Board of Supervisors"It was a tremendous honor to receive this recognition from the Seneca County Board of Supervisors. Seneca County may be the smallest of the six counties I represent, but it is the place I have called home throughout my life. I have enjoyed working with members of the Board for over the last three decades, and I thank Chairman Gary Westfall and the entire Seneca County Board of Supervisors for their support throughout my service to the people of Seneca County," said Nozzolio. "I look forward to continuing to work with the Board to further our common goal of the betterment of Seneca County."
The resolution highlighted many of Nozzolio's accomplishments specifically for Seneca County, including the creation of the Sampson Veterans Memorial Cemetery at the site of the former Sampson Naval Base, the development of the Fire and Public Safety Training Facility at the former Seneca Army Depot, and his role in the making of Seneca Falls as the site of one of the first canal harbor projects in New York State. In addition, Nozzolio had led the effort to restore over 1,500 jobs to the Seneca Army Depot, and played a key role in converting the former Willard Psychiatric Center to the first of its kind substance abuse focused prison. Nozzolio is also responsible for increased funding for local schools, libraries and fire departments in Seneca County and throughout the Finger Lakes.
