Mayor's Message...

Portrait of Mayor Stephens

Thank you for stopping to visit the Village of Ilion website.

As a lifelong resident, let me welcome you to the village that keeps within its boundaries, Americas oldest gun maker, Remington Arms.
 
Ilion also boasts a long history of "blue collar" work ethic, community involvement, civic pride, many, many U.S. Patents and an excellent school system.
 
If you should be considering relocating to the area, with your family or your business, I would urge you to consider the Village of Ilion. We offer a full range of services that are municipally owned and operated. The village has our own low cost electric and water, municipal office staff, village codes department, a top notch DPW and a professional 24 hour police department and 24 hour fire/ambulance service.
 
On behalf of the entire Village Board, the employees and all village residents, I would like to welcome you to Ilion and hope you will stop and see us for a visit.
 
Hope to see you soon.
 
John P. Stephens
Mayor

Remington Elementary Memorial Day Assembly

Trustee Felker, Kaithyn Dickinson, Mayor Cushman, Andrew Weiderman, and Deputy Mayor Moore

A special assembly presented by the 4th graders of Mrs. Beigh, Mrs. Ball and Mrs. Scharett classes and the Remington select chorus was held in remembrance of Memorial Day . Through music, special stories, poems, and beautiful pictures everyone in attendance was reminded of the how, why and importance of what Memorial Day represents. One special presentation was completed by students Andrew Weiderman and Kaitlyn Dickinson. The students read Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, while the select chorus sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic. The words from that address especially remind us of the freedoms we have and the freedoms for which so many have provided all to protect each and everyone of us.

Stop The Tax Shift

The New York State Conference of Mayors, of which the Village of Ilion is a member, created a single-issue Web site www.StopTheTaxShift.orgto defend the property tax taxpayers from tax shifts that may be pushed from the state onto cities and villages. Per that website: "Tax Shifting is the practice of one government shifting its taxes, costs and/or revenue shortfalls onto a lower level of government. "This shift can take place through various state mandates and other practices.

As well on this website is a take action button which allows the taxpayer to draft and send a message to statewide elected officials, state legislators and media concerning this shift.
 
Please check this website out today. Remember this shift will have an influence on your local government.
