Counties are where legislation transforms into service, and policies become everyday impact. Through NY Counties Lead, we bring into focus the bold innovations, essential services, and infrastructures that our 57 counties deliver—often behind the scenes.

This campaign is built to spotlight your work—the essential services, innovative programs, and everyday actions that make your county a leader in New York State. Whether you’ve launched a new initiative or just want to highlight the impact of a long-standing program, we want to hear from you.

Here’s how you can get involved:
