Poughkeepsie…Dutchess County Government could save more than $24 million over the next five years based on the initial analysis of employee response to the Workforce Adjustment Incentive Program announced by Dutchess County Executive Marcus J. Molinaro last month. The program offered eligible County employees an opportunity to apply for a one-time $20,000 payment by voluntarily leaving County service by November 30, 2012. The program is designed to minimize the impact of layoffs while reducing operational expenses as county officials work to close a 2013 projected budget gap that was originally projected as high as $40 million.
