WELCOME
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that a Public Comment Meeting will be held by the Homer Town Board on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, at 6:00 pm at the Town of Homer Senior Center (basement), 31 North Main Street, Homer, NY 13077 regarding amending the Town’s comprehensive plan and zoning to allow billboards along Interstate Route 81. At the present time the zoning law prohibits such off-premises signs. A request has been made that the comprehensive plan and zoning law be amended to allow billboards in areas which are zoned industrial and/or business, north of the Village of Homer. See links to important further information below.
The Town of Homer is located in Central New York approximately 30 minutes from the City of Syracuse, and is the third largest municipality in Cortland County (2010 U.S. Census population 6405) with respect to population.
It contains the Village of Homer, which is an historic community that was first settled in 1791 along and near the banks of the Tioughnioga River. One block west of the River is Main Street in the Village, along which remains a relatively unspoiled 19th century downtown with a Village Green surrounded by churches, houses and the elementary school.
The Town outside of the Village contains rolling hills and valleys which are still primarily used for agriculture. The Town also contains the hamlets of East Homer, which is mostly residential, and Little York which, located north of the Village along Little York Lake, has a few small shops featuring arts and crafts, a year-round farm market & bakery, and a large greenhouse and garden store.
Although many dairy and crop farms remain, the Town is a prime residential area for people working in the cities of Cortland and Ithaca to the south, and Syracuse to the north.
Please see the below dates that the Town Clerks Office will be closed or closing early. This, and other information regarding meetings, etc., are also found in the calendar at left.
