Appointments to the “Bridging the Closure Committee” will be made in May 2021, and we expect the committee to begin meeting in early summer, 2021.

The pandemic situation permitting, we hope that by June committees can meet in person. Interested persons should fill out a position interest form available on the village website at http://www.brockportny.org/departments-services/forms-and-applications.
