It’s difficult to believe that winter is just around the corner! That being said, I would like to remind residents of our Winter Parking Ordinance, which is enforced November 1 through April 15 from midnight to 8 a.m. This allows for safer and more effective plowing and salting of dedicated town streets and helps keep the cost of snow removal down, saving tax dollars for our residents.
I am excited to announce that the Town of Greece website has been updated! The new website is streamlined to provide residents with nearly immediate access to the most used Town of Greece services and resources, including our events and activities at the newly renovated Center, Department of Public Works brush pick up and snow removal service, the latest Town news, economic development plans, and how to contact the Town. I encourage you to check out our new and improved website. This now modern website is easy to navigate, interactive, and user-friendly.
In other positive news, regarding finances, the total debt for the Town of Greece is lower today than at the end of 2013. In fact, the current debt is lower than it has been in 30 plus years. We have paid off much of the debt that was present when my team and I took office, we refinanced all of the higher interest bonds and have been paying cash for our projects. We expect that our debt will decrease by more than $2.4 million in 2024.
We held our Fall Shredding Event this past month and, as usual, helped hundreds of residents confidentially dispose of their documents. As always, we will hold another Shredding Event in the Spring season. Stay tuned for details!
A new business is in town. Be sure to check out Upstate Roots Design, located at 978 North Greece Road. Owners Megan Baker and Kristin Lindley offer a boutique at this location and they specialize in staging and interior decorating.
I would like to invite you to follow my Facebook page: Bill Reilich Greece Town Supervisor. Factual information and town-related updates are posted to this page regularly. Stay safe and healthy, Greece!
