Village Updates

• A message from your Mayor:
  I would like to take a minute out first to thank all of you for being diligent and receptive to the changing times we are living through. It certainly has been a lot and I am proud of our small community for doing the best we can do for family, friends, and neighbors.
  However, here we are with more changes that I would like to bring to everyone’s attention. As of April 16, 2020, the following executive orders have been put in place by Governor Cuomo
  
• Governor Cuomo issued an executive order requiring all people in New York to wear masks or face coverings in public, including when taking public or private transportation or riding in for-hire vehicles.
• An executive order directs employers to provide essential workers with masks free of charge to wear when interacting with the public.
• I continue to ask everyone to comply with these orders as it is in our best interest to keep the community healthy and safe as we continue this nationwide journey to stop the spread of the COVID19 virus.
  
  I look forward to the day I can say that all the restrictions have been lifted and that we can all begin the process of going back to work, school, worship, and play. Until then please, do not hesitate to reach out if you need help with any of these requirements. A message can be left on the village office phone- 716-676-3010 and someone will get back to you within 48 hours.
  Sincerely,
  ​Harvey Soulvie, Mayor, Village of Franklinville
