**Seneca Lake Byway, Inc.(SLBI) - The Town of Hector has voted to support the local Senaca Lake Hector Lodi Byway.
To view the Byway document click here

Presently the SLBI group has meetings on the 1st & 3rd Monday of each month at the Finger Lakes National Forest Headquarters. All meetings are open to the public. The group hopes to get the route, which runs from the Hector line through the village of Lodi in Seneca County, designated as a scenic byway in order to: Protect the economic and aesthetic interests of the residents of both towns; Enhance business enterprise, e.g. agriculture, winery, Bed & Breakfasts, restaurants and recreation; Improve the safety of roadway/byway access for autos, bicycles and walkers; and Provide incentive for more timely highway maintenance, as well as State and Federal grants. The process has been in the works for 5 years. The proposed Byway was first mentioned in the Schuyler Comprehensive Plan as a recommendation to increase the economic development of Schuyler County. For more information contact Chris Kimball-Peterson, Director 387-4990 or clkp329@aol.com.
