Mayor’s Memo
Greetings Weedsport Residents;
I would like to start out by saying thank you for placing your trust in me to guide our village as it’s Mayor.
It has now been three months since I accepted the oath of office as Mayor and it has been a very fast paced three months. Every day presents itself with another opportunity of learning the Mayors role and responsibilities in the operations of a village.
A part of being a responsible Mayor is providing information to the village residents. Therefore, I am initiating this informal monthly communication to keep residents informed on various topics and events that are happening within our village. This will be updated and posted on the Village of Weedsport’s website the first week of every month.
