The Village of Williamsville held a board meeting on April 14, 2025, focusing on community engagement and environmental initiatives. The meeting began with a presentation from the Williamsville Environmental Advisory Council (WEAC), which invited local businesses to participate in the third annual Greenup Williamsville event scheduled for May 3. The initiative encourages businesses along the Main Street corridor to engage in a spring cleanup, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a clean environment.

During the discussion, it was highlighted that participating businesses would receive a Greenup Williamsville sign to showcase their commitment to environmental stewardship. The WEAC also reached out to local schools to promote the event, with students from the Williamsville South Environmental Club expected to volunteer.

In addition to the cleanup, the meeting addressed the maintenance of bioswales located in South Lawn Park and along Spring Street. The Department of Public Works (DPW) has been actively cleaning and maintaining these areas, with plans for a tutorial on native plantings led by Alexandra Circle on the same day as the cleanup. This educational session aims to teach participants about sustainable gardening practices and the importance of using native plants.

The event on May 3 will be family-friendly, with activities suitable for all ages. Volunteers are encouraged to join at 9:30 AM for litter pickup, while those focusing on bioswales will meet at 10:00 AM. The meeting concluded with a reminder that all volunteers must sign a release form, which will be available on the village website.

Overall, the meeting underscored the village's commitment to environmental sustainability and community involvement, with plans for further activities and educational opportunities in the coming weeks.
