Schoharie County

Nestled in picturesque upstate New York, Schoharie County is located about 30 miles west of the Empire State’s capital of Albany and just 150 miles north of New York City. 

The county overlaps with three unique regional economies: the Albany/Capital District area to the east, the Mohawk Valley Region to the west, and the Catskills/Appalachian region to the south.

About the County

Schoharie County is an agricultural-based rural community in Upstate New York with just over 30,000 residents, spread out over 16 towns and 6 separate villages (Cobleskill, Esperance, Middleburgh, Schoharie, Sharon Springs, and Richmondville), featuring pedestrian-friendly, walkable historic downtown areas, flanked by retail stores and restaurants. 

“As a newly elected official, I have had the opportunity to turn to SEEC for assistance in the overwhelming elements involved in various grant projects in my community. Julie Pacatte and Trish Bergan have been ever so helpful, accessible, and proficient. The village of Schoharie benefits from having a relationship with this professional and responsive corporation. I consider this organization a friend to the Village and a comfort to me.”

Mayor Colleen M. Henry, Village of Schoharie
