A Message from the Town Supervisor
As our world continues to change, I want our residents to know that your Town Board and Planning Board are working hard to protect the future of Cincinnatus and the rural way of life we all value.
With the rapid rollout of data centers, large-scale solar projects, the push toward natural gas bans, and the so-called “upgrades” to our electrical grid, Cincinnatus and rural communities across New York are increasingly feeling the financial pressure. Rest assured, we intend to stay at the forefront of these issues and continue fighting against mandates and costs being pushed onto our residents and small communities.
At the same time, we are taking a hard look at our town laws. Some have become outdated and need to be brought into the 21st century, while new challenges require us to be proactive rather than reactive. We want protections in place before a problem arrives at our doorstep.
Whether it is addressing smoke shops, preparing for new types of development, protecting residents from the effects of state energy policies, or strengthening our local laws, our goal is simple: protect our town, our families, our children, and the rural character that makes Cincinnatus home.
And these are just a few examples of what we are working on.
Behind the scenes, we are actively looking for grant opportunities, exploring smart investments in our community, working to attract the right kinds of businesses, building a flourishing recreation program for our children and families, and looking for new opportunities that will benefit Cincinnatus for years to come. There is a lot of work happening that people may not always see.
Your Town Board and Planning Board don’t just serve this community, we live here too. We are you. Our families are here. Our friends and neighbors are here. We drive the same roads, pay the same bills, and care deeply about what Cincinnatus will look like for our children and grandchildren.
We may not be able to stop the world around us from changing, but we can make sure Cincinnatus has a strong voice in how those changes affect us, and that we grow on our terms, not someone else’s.
There is much more we hope to accomplish, and we will continue working together to make responsible decisions for the future while never forgetting what makes our small town special.
Thank you for your continued support. Together, we can keep Cincinnatus a wonderful place to live, raise a family, do business, and call home, while protecting our rural character and doing everything we can to keep costs down for the people who live here.
