Tonight’s Village Board meeting will take place via video conference and will be live streamed on YouTube. We’ll post the URL just as soon as we go live, approx. 6:25pm. Check back here (if you’re subscribed you’ll get an email) or on Facebook. The meeting will be short as we are conducting only essential business as this time. Stay tuned… we’ll post again when the streaming link is active.

Air B&B. Not happy especially when there is one across the street from me. Still open for business.
Thank you Valerie. We have proposed a new short term rental law which is available for review here. Just scroll down to “Pending/Proposed Laws for Public Review”. You can submit your thoughts through the form below.
Will these permits be posted . On the web site Air B&B the home across the street from my house sleeping more than 2 people per bedroom. Shouldn’t neighbors be informed of this before permits are given. On this website you can see how many beds are available.
Hi Valerie,
Not exactly sure yet where/if the permits will be posted. This is a great topic for discussion as we finalize the short term rental code. Informing neighbors of AirBnB activity is a great idea. There’s a form on this site (first one on this page: https://athensvillageny.com/forms/) that will send your comments directly to the clerk for submission to the public hearing/public comment period on this legislation. If you have a chance, please share your thoughts and concerns for the record. I will also make sure to bring it up at the meeting on 4/22. Please stay tuned for info on how to join that meeting online as well. Thank you again for bringing this to the board’s attention! -Amy Serrago
