Applications are now being accepted for the Tompkins County Septic Upgrade Program. This grant will allow for the upgrade of substandard septic systems for eligible single-family, owner-occupied properties located within the boundaries of Tompkins County, but outside of the City of Ithaca.
The Town of Danby sits on the traditional & ancestral land of the Gayogoho:no’ (Cayuga Nation), one of the five nations to first form the Haudenosaunee. Indigenous peoples were largely forced out of Upstate New York by the Sullivan-Clinton Expedition in 1779. The land that would become the Town of Danby was a part of the Watkins and Flint Purchase, a 336,380 acre patent granted by New York State to numerous eastern investors in 1794.
