Upcoming Town Meetings

The best way to stay informed and make your voice heard is by attending and participating in Town meetings. These selected meetings are key to our mission; you can find the full calendar of town meetings here.

For meetings that accept public participation, you can do so in person at the Town Hall, by calling in at (585) 340-8771, or through online submissions. Please note that each board/committee has specific protocols for submitting statements pre/post-meeting, which have all been outlined here.

At any time in the review process on development applications to the Town (Property Under Review), you can share your comments and concerns here or by emailing planning@penfield.org.
