Following the guidelines of the CDC, the Village of Buchanan requires masks to be worn inside all Village buildings regardless of vaccine status until further notice.
As a reminder, the best way to prevent transmission is to get vaccinated, wear a mask covering your nose and mouth, maintain social distancing and wash your hands frequently. The Village is committed to providing a safe environment for the public and staff to access Village services and attend meetings. With these measures, we can avoid another shutdown and continue to provide in-person service.
The Village of Buchanan is holding a contest to redesign our Village seal, which appears on the Village letterhead and many other documents. We are looking to reflect the change from the current seal’s industrial symbols to the current environment emphasizing iconic Village features (Village Hall, the clock in the circle, Lents Cove Park), area history, and the local waterfront on the Hudson River.
Designs must be submitted by December 31, 2021. Questions? Contact Trustee Nick Zachary and Hendrick Hudson School District art teacher Jessica Nash by email.
Click here to download the announcement from the April Newsletter.
A panel will be formed to review all the designs submitted and select five finalists. Village residents will then vote to select the winning design. There will be a cash prize which will be announced later.
Vist the contest website: https://sites.google.com/view/buchananlogocontest1/home for a link to submit your design and more information.
Visit our LWRP pages for information about the planning effort being conducted jointly by the Town of Cortlandt and the Village of Buchanan to identify ways we can revitalize and enhance the waterfront with economic growth and new recreational opportunities while protecting the environment.
