Fishing Pier and Walkway Now Open!

In accordance with Chapter 1, Section 107 of the New York State Property Maintenance Code 2020; Section 107 - Unsafe Structures and Equipment.

The Building Inspector has closed the fishing pier due to winter ice damage and decay of the structure. The Town is currently working on replacing the damaged structure and its walkway, and must follow New York State Law and requirements for this process.

Updates will be provided as they become available. Thank you all for your patience.
