Full Notification

Snow is forecast for tomorrow (Sunday 2/22) morning, with the worst of it occurring Sunday evening through the night. Please remember to remove all vehicles and trash bins from Village streets — it’s on all of us to help our amazing Department of Public Works team clear our roadways.

Free parking is available at the Village owned parking lot down by the Waste Water Treatment plant off of Huguenot Street

For those with sidewalks in front of your property, the Village ordinance requires clearing of them no later than 24 hours after the last flakes fall.

Below are the specifics in Village code.

Stay safe & warm, everyone
