Village Elections will be held on March 15th from 12-9pm at the Village Hall. You’ll be voting on Village Trustee members as well as the Marijuana Law.

Just to clarify for the marijuana law, the village chose to opt-out of allowing
marijuana retail sales and consumption establishments in the village.
So you are voting “Yes” to agree with not allowing the sale of marijuana and
approve the villages decision to opt-out or you are voting “No” to allow
the sale of marijuana. If you have any questions please let us know.

Just a reminder of the upcoming burn ban this week.
Annual burn ban in effect from March 16 through May 14.
Open burning is the single greatest cause of wildfires in NYS.
Since the spring burn ban was implemented in 2009,
the number of wildfires has decreased by more than 40%.
Watch a Public Service Announcement on open burning and check out
other clips on DEC’s YouTube Channel (leaves DEC website).
When you plan a fire, always check for fire danger in your area on DEC’s online map
(updated every week). Also, local governments may have stricter rules than NYS;
your fire department will have information about local burning laws.
