Over the years, bounties were placed on particular animals and the town fathers would pay those bounties to inhabitants who could prove they killed certain animals. Wolves were a consistent trouble maker and they earned one of the largest bounties. It could be a grisly business...(read full article ) In the Beginning...Early Palmyra (Jan. 7, 2020) As I take over the Palmyra Historian position from Beth Hoad who held that position for 20 years, I hope to build upon the research and writings that Beth and other esteemed historians did so well over the years. They communicated our community’s history but also incorporated their own interests and included their own observations to that history. My research and observations will do the same.

DOG LICENSES GOVERNMENT > TOWN of palmyra > TOWN CLERK > DOG LICENSES Dogs four months and older in the Town and Village of Palmyra must be licensed through the Palmyra Town Clerk. Licenses are renewable annually with proof of a current rabies vaccination, and can be brought into the office or mailed in to the Town Clerks Office, 1180 Canandaigua Road, Palmyra, NY 14522 The original license is easiest to apply for in person at the Town Clerk's Office because you will receive your dog's id tags at that time. Please bring your updated rabies certificate and proof of spay or neuter when licensing your dog. TOWN OF PALMYRA DOG LICENSING FEES (Cash or Check only) $8.00 - neutered / spayed dogs $16.00 - un-neutered / un-spayed dogs WHY LICENSE YOUR DOG? It's the Law: New York State Agriculture & Markets Law, Article 7, requires that dogs in New York State be licensed and wear their dog license tag. Easy Identification: When wearing a license tag, dogs are easier to identify, enabling them to be reunited with their owner faster if they should run off. A license is a lost dog's ticket home. Health & Safety: By requiring that a dog have valid rabies vaccination prior to licensing, a dog license helps to control and prevent the spread of rabies.

Comprehensive planning is a community planning process that creates a framework and a guide that shapes a community’s physical, social, and economic development aspirations. Intended to be led by and created for the community, a comprehensive plan articulates a vision for the future, planning principles, priority policy areas, and action items to direct day-to-day and long-term decision-making for local leaders and the community of Palmyra. Why do a joint Village and Town comprehensive plan? While the Village and Town of Palmyra are distinct municipalities, they have a symbiotic relationship where one cannot thrive without the other. The Village of Palmyra is the residential and downtown hub for the community, while the Town’s agricultural landscape creates the small-town charm many residents cherish. A joint planning effort allows the Village and Town to harness synergies and take a holistic approach to planning for all of Palmyra. What are the benefits of a comprehensive plan? The process of creating a comprehensive plan has many benefits for the community. Social: The process of completing a comprehensive plan helps to build community cohesion by providing opportunities for the public to become engaged in shaping the future vision for the Village and Town, developing priority policy areas, and curating an implementation strategy. The Palmyra Comprehensive Plan is led by a steering committee composed of local stakeholders and will involve an extensive public engagement process to ensure a diverse representation of experiences and perspectives are present in the plan. Economic: A part of the planning process includes conducting a broad inventory of Palmyra’s existing demographic and economic conditions that will create the baseline for determining priority policy areas and action items. This inventory will review the fiscal conditions of the Village and the Town, and explore economic development strategies to promote revitalization and economic resilience. Physical: A key component of the Palmyra Comprehensive Plan will be to outline future land use recommendations and create a future land use map. These land use recommendations provide essential guidance for the Planning and Zoning Boards regarding the type and location of future development. The plan will also explore smart growth and other environmentally focused planning principles to support sustainable development in Palmyra. Political: A comprehensive plan is the foundational community planning document from which local leaders and Town and Village Boards make decisions. The vision, planning principles, and priority policy areas outlined in the plan create a framework on which local leaders can base fiscal and policy decisions. Created from the community, the planning foundations of a comprehensive plan are intended to create a sense of continuity as municipal staff and political leadership change throughout the years.
