The Town Board was looking to honor and recognize Sargent Thomas A. Sanfratello who served and protected the citizens of Genesee County as a Deputy Sheriff for 28 years and tragically gave his life in the line of duty on March 10, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Town will construct and install a sign at 145 Park Road, a residential apartment unit located on a parcel of land in the City of Batavia. The sign, which will have a width of 24 inches and a depth of 48 inches with 4-inch lettering will be located approximately three (3) feet from the edge of the existing sidewalk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Town Board members Patti Michalak<\/a> and Chad Zambito<\/a> have been working on the project obtaining permissions from Genesee Valley Rural Preservation Council, Inc., and Genesee Park Place Associates, owners\/operators of the property and hope to unveil the sign after presenting a Proclamation to the family of Sgt Sanfratello in mid-November. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
