Mayor's Message

Dear Residents,

As we all know, the closure of Route 80 has significantly disrupted our region and town. The timeline for reopening has been uncertain, with each attempt to set a date proving to be a moving target. We are in regular contact with the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation, meeting multiple times a week to stay updated. The DOT is working tirelessly, around the clock, to resolve the situation. However, the mine under Route 80 is extensive, aged, and in poor condition, which has complicated the repair process.

In the meantime, there are several ways we can all help ease the impact:

1. Work from home if possible. If you are able to work remotely, please do so to reduce the number of commuters on the road.

2. For those with a hybrid schedule, consider asking your employer to allow more remote work. Given that the Governor has declared a state of emergency, they may be more flexible with arrangements.

3. Adjust your commute. If you must travel, try shifting your commute to earlier or later times to avoid peak traffic periods.

4. Support local businesses. Our local shops and restaurants are struggling due to the Route 80 closure. Please shop locally whenever possible to help keep them afloat during this difficult time.

Lastly, I ask for your continued patience and understanding as we work through this challenge together. Our community’s resilience and cooperation are greatly appreciated.
