Monticello, NY – The Sullivan County Legislature will preset three forums on natural gas development of the Marcellus Shale in the region.

The events, to take place at Monticello High School, will be held on Tuesday, June 29, Thursday, July 15 and Thursday, August 19, all running from 5:45 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The discussions will include representatives from a number of stakeholder groups – business, local government, environmental groups, and residents.

“The goal of these public forums is to present a balanced picture of what can be expected from gas drilling in Sullivan County and how we as citizens should be informed and prepared for the choices that lie ahead,” said County Legislature Chairman Jonathan Rouis.
