We'd like to wish a happy Memorial Day to all Yorktown residents as we honor all those who lost their lives in service.
Town offices are closed today in observance of the holiday. Regular office hours will resume tomorrow.

In the heart of downtown, Civic Green will also offer increased foot traffic to local owners and better proximity to amenities for residents. With a shade/performance structure and a sensory plaza with misters and lights, Civic Green will be a versatile space that can be enjoyed by residents of all ages.
The town is working to complete the downtown redevelopment projects as quickly as possible to minimize construction inconveniences.
Yorktown Public Library's Summer Reading Kick-Off Carnival is tomorrow. Register today at the library, and head out to Morrow's Meadow tomorrow for the fun-filled carnival, featuring games, a bounce house, and special guests from Enchanting Party Tales.
Because Memorial Day falls on Monday, all trash and recycle routes will run one day behind next week. All routes will be caught up by Saturday morning.
