Installation of Route 202 Crosswalk/Sidewalk by DeCicco & Sons and Heritage Hills Project Update
The New York State Department of Transportation has approved the plans for the crosswalk and sidewalk. The Town Board has also approved the construction by initiating the bidding process. This includes the sidewalk and pedestrian crossing at the Heritage Hills Drive/DeCicco & Sons Supermarket intersection and the northern side of Bailey Park. These decisions were made at the June 6th Town Board meeting. Further, at the August 8th meeting, Woodard & Curran was approved to provide construction administration services. The proposals from Gordian were approved at the October 10thmeeting for the construction of the Bailey Park sidewalk and the Heritage Hills sidewalk. The installation of both sidewalks is currently in progress.
Somers Town House Antenna Project
On occasion, the Somers Police Department is tasked with providing security and traffic control for events such as parades, Town functions, school events and funerals. A vast majority of these events take place in the Route 202/Route 100 area. As such, the police department requires flawless communication among our officers for the safety of its members as well as the public. For the best communication range, an antenna needs to be mounted at a high point in the center of the event area. The highest and most centrally located point is the Town House. A VHF antenna has been installed by Metro-Com Wireless Inc. on the top of the Town House roof within the white metal railing area. This project should be completed prior to our next major event, the Town of Somers Veterans Day Parade and Ceremony.
West Point Football Game Trip for Veterans
The Somers Veterans Committee organized a trip for our local veterans. On October 19th, a busload of veterans embarked on a ride to West Point for an Army vs East Carolina football game. It was a great day full of tailgating, beautiful seasonal weather and West Point traditions. A special thank you to Kate O’Keefe, chair of the Veterans Committee, for organizing this fun-filled event for our veterans.

Rehabilitating a Local Landmark, the Old Bet Monument
We welcomed the new sculpture of our National Historic Landmark, Old Bet, this past April. The success of the project included a multitude of people and it was all documented into a short video, produced by the Somers Historical Society. Please take a moment and view the video of this historic preservation project.
Wright Reis Homestead Horse Barn Repairs
The Wright Reis Homestead is a historic house opened to the public. It has many outbuildings on its property including the horse barn which is need of repair. At the October 3rd Town Board meeting, permission has been granted to solicit request for proposals from a NYS licensed engineer or architect for repairs.
The Town is also seeking a grant for repairs to the horse barn and many of the other outbuildings on the property.
Outdoor Dining
Every year since COVID hit in 2020, the Town adopted a resolution to allow temporary outdoor dining. At the October 10th Town Board meeting, the local law has been adopted for Chapter 122 entitled Outdoor dining accessory to restaurants and retail food stores and amended Chapter 170 entitled Zoning to include a new definition for retail food store. This new local law allows seasonal outdoor dining on a permanent basis.
Town of Somers Domain Change Soon
The Town is transitioning from somersny.com to somersny.gov! What does that mean? Our website address will be changing to www.somersny.gov and our Town email addresses will change to @somersny.gov. But while everyone gets used to using .gov, the .com domain will remain active and you will still be able to reach us.
The reason for the change: The .gov domain is a more secure and trusted domain as well as more recognizable. It also allows the Town to be eligible for federal grants.
Look for the announcement soon!
Happy Halloween!
Supervisor Scorrano wishes everyone a Happy Halloween! Please be safe while trick or treating. Drivers, be sure to use extra caution and drive slowly.
