Brockport Village Hall makes its move by Kristina Gabalski Village of Brockport offices were closed January 9 to 11 to facilitate a move from 49 State Street to 127 Main Street. On October 30, the village purchased the new location from Lifetime Assistance for $250,000. Village Mayor Margay Blackman said the move will help ease overcrowding at 49 State Street where the village hall has shared space with the village court for three years.

“The court size has significantly increased,” Blackman said during the November 6 meeting of the Village Board. “It has been difficult sharing this space.” Blackman said people with court appearances sometimes have to wait lined-up outside on the sidewalk. The move of the village offices is expected to open up space in the former codes office at 49 State Street, allowing people to wait and meet with the public defender while court is in session. The court will remain at 49 State Street and all Village Board, Zoning Board, and Planning Board meetings and workshops will continue to be held there. Smaller committee meetings will take place in the conference room of the new location, Blackman said. “The village will host an open house at the new village hall for the community sometime in February,” she said, and added that she is excited about the move. “The interior upgrade with painting, window treatments and carpets will really look nice.”

Annual Hilton-Parma Recreation Winter Fest Day of Play planned by Kristina Gabalski Hilton-Parma Recreation will celebrate all things fun about winter during the annual Winter Fest on Saturday, January 27 from noon to 2:30 p.m. at the Village of Hilton Community Center, 59 Henry Street. The event gives families a chance to take a break from the challenges of winter living and enjoy a “Day of Play.” “Bundle up and bring the family out,” says Tom Venniro, Town of Parma Parks and Recreation Director. He says the event will be filled with both indoor and outdoor activities. “Indoor activities will include free hot dogs, chili, hot chocolate and S’mores cupcakes from Rachel B’s,” Venniro says. Also featured inside will be the popular Mascot Madness with local sports team mascots, crafts and family game tables. Additionally, Gaga, music and more will be available inside. Venniro says if there is snow, “Come ready to enjoy outdoor activities such as snow shoeing, snow games, sledding and more.” “Activities are free for all, but we ask that you preregister so that we know how many people to expect,” Venniro adds. To register, visit the Parks and Recreation page on the Town of Parma website: parmany.org and click on the link to Registration for Winter/Spring Programs.
