Polling sites within Monroe County are designated by the Board of Elections. Earlier this year they made the decision to consolidate the sites in the Town of Wheatland. If you have previously voted at the Scottsville Fire Pavilion your new polling site will be at either the Mumford Community Building (Election Districts 2 and 5) or the Wheatland Municipal Building (Election Districts 1, 3 and 4) depending on the district that you are in.

If you are unsure of the Election District that you are in, you can find this information by going to the Monroe County Board of Elections website: https://www.monroecounty.gov/elections. Once on that site, click on “Check My Voter Information”. The Board of Elections can also assist you over the phone by calling 753-1550.

Message from Supervisor Dobson:

In the summer of 2022 I applied for an ARPA grant for broadband internet services to help Wheatland residents without adequate internet services. For many months we have been working with County Executive Bello and Legislator Steve Brew and a few Mumford residents to bring broadband internet services to both under-served and not served Wheatland Residents. Today we are excited to announce that even our most rural residents will have access to broadband.

“As a lifetime resident of Riga and County Legislator representing our rural communities, I
know first-hand the need for expansion of high-speed broadband internet into our neighborhoods
and farmlands that currently lack this basic necessity,” said County Legislature Majority Leader
Steve Brew. “Today’s announcement is truly life-changing for our residents without this access
and is the compilation of years of work from countless individuals including Wheatland Town
Supervisor Linda Dobson, fellow Legislator Jackie Smith, fellow members of the Broadband
Task Force and so many others. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for our community,
farmers, and neighbors with reliable, high- speed broadband internet – the possibilities are truly
limitless.”

Under County Executive Bello’s proposal, Spectrum will reach out to the hundreds of homes and
businesses that lack wire line access to internet services and then with permission from the home
or business owners, install those vital connections. Areas covered under the Spectrum plan
include Hamlin, Clarkson, Sweden, Parma, Riga, Wheatland, Ogden, Rush, Mendon, and
Penfield.

We would like to thank County Executive Bello and Legislator Steve Brew for their support and
understanding the needs of our residents. Working together at multiple levels of government we
are able to improve the lives of our residents with this grant funding. Read the full story

Notice from the Town Clerk’s Office:

The printer for hunting licenses has gone down. After attempting to resolve the issue with NYS they determined that we would need a new printer. They are putting in a request for a new one but are unsure when we will receive the new printer. I will post a notice again when we are able to print and sell hunting licenses again. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
