In today’s world, peace needs to become more than just a word. On September 20, Town of Webb UFSD art students participated in an international art and literacy project known as “Pinwheels for Peace” and placed pinwheels with messages of peace in the schoolyard parallel to Main Street.

A review of the Town of Webb’s Zoning Ordinance was conducted as part of the project to codify the Town’s local laws and ordinances, according to Supervisor Ted Riehle.
Changes were recommended to update it by correcting typographical errors, inserting proper statutory references, and clarifying procedural requirements, he said.
On Tuesday, September 10, the Town of Webb Board resolved to have Supervisor Riehle submit the Zoning Ordinance to the Herkimer County Planning Board.
This is so the amendments to the ordinance can be approved as required by law, Riehle said.
The Board also reviewed the amendments as required by the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA).
They resolved them to be an “unlisted action” with no significant impact on the environment.
This means no further SEQRA action is required, according to the board.
