Genesee residents are invited to submit designs for a new county flag
Noting that the current Genesee County flag “has always been a pet peeve of
mine,” Genesee County Planning Director Felipe Oltramari has invited citizens to
participate in a county flag design competition – a component of the county’s
public engagement strategy in support of the Genesee County Comprehensive Plan
Update and Recreation Plan. The Public Engagement Plan, dated Oct. 2, 2020, was
prepared by Prospect Hill Consulting LLC and Joy Kuebler Landscape Architect,
PC. According to Oltramari, the comprehensive and recreation plans provide a
template for county officials and civic leaders to achieve a vision of improved
and increased resources for a vibrant, healthy and safe community. “We’re
calling it Genesee 2050 – a vision strategy for the next 30 years for our
county,” he said, mentioning that the original comprehensive plan was written in
1997. Looking for Community Input Getting the public involved in the process is
a key part of the strategy. As indicated in the Public Engagement Plan
