Stormwater Demonstration Area located along the side of the Conservation Cabin at the Chemung County Fairgrounds, coordinated by the Stormwater Team, was completed with the help of Boy Scouts from Troop 43, Pine City as an Eagle Scout project of Cody Vohees who worked on the Rain Garden. The rest of the area was completed with the help of the Chemung County Conservation District.
