Village Board members in Brockport have voted to increase security measures at the Welcome Center along the Erie Canal.
During their regular meeting August 28, trustees voted unanimously to install three surveillance cameras outside and one camera inside the Welcome Center as well as two floodlights.
Trustee Bill Andrews requested the measure during his report. He explained there has been vandalism recently at the Welcome Center including “thefts in the bike area and also along the canal bank.”
Andrews added that vandalism is reported to be up along the entire canal.
A spending cap was set at $2,500. Andrews said the cost of the security measures would be covered by money from the Federal Asset Forfeiture Fund.
