A common reference is made to SEQR at Town Meetings.  This is the State Environmental Quality Review Regulations.  The Purpose of SEQR is to incorporate the consideration of environmental factors into the existing planning, review and decision making processes of State, regional, and local government.  Environment means land, air, water, noise, plants and animals, archeological, historical, aesthetics, transportation, energy, growth and character of community. 

Citizen's have an important role in the process by raising awareness of the impacts of a proposed action.  Please contact us if you need our assistance.
