Town of Perinton’s Fall 2025 Updates
Published September 15, 2025
As the seasons change, Perinton Town Hall continues its commitment to serving the community, and we, as fellow residents and local business owners, want to keep you informed. Town Supervisor Ciaran Hanna recently shared a fall update highlighting ongoing projects and future plans that impact all of us. Here’s a closer look at the key initiatives.
Perinton’s Commitment to Infrastructure and Public Safety
A significant focus of the town’s efforts has been on improving local infrastructure and enhancing public safety. These investments are designed to benefit residents and ensure the community remains a safe and well-maintained place to live.
Major Upgrades and Projects
The Town of Perinton has been actively working on several key projects, with a strong emphasis on fiscal responsibility.
- Fellows Road Park: A $1.5 million upgrade is underway, which includes new drainage systems, an improved parking lot, and EV charging stations. This project aims to extend the sports seasons and improve accessibility.
- Perinton Public Works (DPW): The DPW has been instrumental in keeping costs down. “With Perinton Public Works (DPW) completing much of the work, we saved about $160,000 in taxpayer dollars,” Hanna noted in the update.
- Road Rehabilitation: By the end of the year, the DPW will have completed 4.5 miles of road rehabilitation, 18 miles of preventative maintenance, and 15,000 feet of concrete gutter replacement.
- Capital Improvements: Plans are in place for future sidewalk expansions, sewer relining, and drainage upgrades.
Enhancing Safety and Security
Since its launch in 2021, the Perinton Safety & Security Department has been working to protect residents. The team, led by Director John Overacker, works in collaboration with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
“Their quick action during a recent incident on the Indian Hill Trail led to a safe outcome and highlighted the importance of this department,” the update stated. In response, the town is enhancing signage, lighting, and monitoring on trails and in parks.
Programs for Families and Seniors
Perinton is expanding its programs to support residents of all ages, with a particular focus on affordable community events.
Budget-Friendly Community Events
- “Free or $5” Initiative: Thanks to revenue from summer concerts and local sponsorships, this new program offers events for families at little to no cost, providing a budget-friendly way to bring the community together.
- Perinton Community Center: This center remains a hub of activity, with a strong 55+ program offering activities like group hikes, game nights, and the popular curbside lunch program.
Investing in Outdoor Spaces
The town continues to invest in its parks and natural spaces. The new Center Park West inclusive playground, designed with resident input, has recently opened, and courts at Potter Park have been resurfaced.
Planning for a Sustainable and Affordable Future
Supervisor Hanna emphasized that keeping Perinton affordable is a top priority as his team works on the 2026 Town Budget. The town’s low and stable tax rate, which is among the lowest in Monroe County, is a key focus.
H4: Celebrating Our Small Businesses
The update also recognized the vital role of local small businesses in the community, calling them “the people and places that give our town character.” The supervisor encouraged residents to “shop small, recommend local, and recognize the businesses that help Perinton flourish.”
Parker Place is proud to be a part of this wonderful community.
