Penfield Together Priorities.
Working Today for a Better Tomorrow.
Our Priorities for Planned Progress
-
Roads, Resources, and Resilience
Modernizing infrastructure to build a stronger, safer, and more connected Penfield — all without increasing your tax rate.
15,000 feet of sidewalk added to better connect neighborhoods
73,000 sq. ft. Department of Public Works facility streamlining town services
Allen Creek stream stabilized to reduce flooding and protect neighborhoods
New crosswalks and intersection upgrades improving traffic safety
Funded through careful budgeting and outside grant support, not new taxes
-
Parks, People, and Public Spaces
Investing in the places that bring us together — while planning long-term for cost-effective improvements.
Shadow Pines Recreation Area: 10 pickleball courts, ADA playgrounds, trails, and pavilion
Clark House: Preserved and transformed into a 5,800 sq. ft. event space
New wheelchair-accessible van to support seniors and residents with mobility needs
Park upgrades (shade structures, seating, restrooms) at LaSalle’s Landing and more
Enhancing quality of life for every age group, responsibly and affordably
-
Budgets, Balance, and Big-Picture Planning
Fiscal stewardship in action — keeping your tax dollars working for you.
Flat Town Tax Rate: The 2024 budget protects services while holding the line at $2.10 per $1,000
Efficient Spending: Expanded EV fleet, public chargers, and energy upgrades to reduce long-term operating costs
Smart Planning: Fiscal impact and housing study to guide future development
Growth with Purpose: Proposed moratorium on East Penfield development ensures infrastructure keeps pace with growth
“Being good stewards of your tax dollars means asking the hard questions, planning ahead, and doing more with less. That’s our job, and we take it seriously.”
