"This is something we go through every June," said Clerk- Treasurer Donna White regarding the empty lots on Mill Street beside the home of Brian and Elizabeth White and a pie-shaped piece of land wedged between the Hastings and Wheeler residences on Mill Street.

Last year the village paid the taxes on the Mill Street land, which amounted to $25. It was decided that the neigh- bouring landowners be approached to see if they would be interested in buying the properties. *** Curtis Gardner, who owns the empty lot on Catherine Street offered to give the lot to the village. White is going to contact the coun- ty planning department to find out what could be done with the land.
