The Process

Consensus is helping to shape a vision for more effective and efficient governance across Onondaga County. Through the Commission's work, the community will take a leadership role in defining how it wants to be organized and governed locally – with public services that meet high quality standards at an affordable price. With data-driven solutions, the region's governance structures can be modernized to meet the needs of the 21st century, with local resources focused equitably and effectively to help our economy and protect our community assets.
