Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On August 9, 2010, Schumer opened a meeting with high-level officials of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Transportation (DOT), and Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), all members of the Partnership for Sustainable Communities, to discuss and better understand the needs, obstacles and red tape experienced by localities as they seek to revitalize downtown cores and promote sustainable development. The meeting comes on the heels of Schumer's call this past May that federal agencies assist local communities in navigate the bureaucracy that often bogs down local development plans.
