In today's episode Marcia welcomes Penfield Supervisor Jeff Leenhouts. Did you know that Penfield has been ranked the second best place to live  for quality of life and one of the top 50 places to live in the US? It's really no wonder, since the area is rich with walking trails, athletic fields, museums, open air parks and beaches. The area is served by both the Penfield and Webster school districts and the children benefit greatly from the libraries and hands-on cultural opportunities that add to their learning and in-depth study. The job market is increasing, the average salary in Penfield is above the median state average and the overall cost of living is better than the US average. Crime rate is down and the housing market is very strong. There are multiple development projects that will enhance the Penfield area: Shadow Pines, originally a 212 acre golf course that was acquired by the town now has areas for hiking, orienteering, cross-country skiing, bird watching, and disc golf. Pickleball courts are being build. The Clark House is being rehabilitated and The Lodge is being added to it so the town can have another place for larger gatherings, parties, and weddings. There are mixed use properties being built at Routes 250 & 286 called The Arbors at Penfield, and Penfield Heights is being built across from the YMCA. The summer is a very busy social season for Penfield! On Monday May 27th is the Memorial Day Ceremony of Remembrance, On June 2nd at Dayton's Corner school House is the Pie Social and Fundraiser, Saturday June 29th is the Town of Penfield Independence Day Celebration and all summer long there are concerts to go to. To get more details about all of these go to Penfield.org and look under Events and Performances Tab. Penfield.org is also a great place to contact Supervisor Leehouts should you have any questions for him.
