Got Spirit. We got spirit, couldn't be prouder! If you cannot hear us, we will yell a little louder! The County Manager Blog was awarded the Spirit Award of the Year for 2007 on December 17, 2007, by Buffalo.com.Your Hub (http://home.buffalo.com/) I couldn't be prouder about this nice award because the Blog is all about telling stories relating to our wonderful Niagara County communities and their vibrant citizenry and the times in which we all live. For our County to achieve the success that our citizens so much deserve, we have to catch the spirit that can sometimes be so elusive in a global environment fraught with uncertainties and challenges. To be good spirit catchers, we must be fearless and we must make a home for disciplined people, practice disciplined thought, and pursue with vigor disciplined strategies. Yes, we will have HSBC in our community! Yes, we will have strong long term financial management! Yes, we will shift more investment from the public sector to the private for profit and the private non-profit sectors! Yes, we will clean up our environment! Yes, we will have for the first time a comprehensive plan for County communities! Yes, we got spirit!
