Empire mulling short term rentals

The Village of Empire Short Term Rental Committee has extended its March 7 deadline to look at possible regulations until the end of May to gather more information and possibly complete an ordinance.

The committee has been in operation since November 2023.

“There’s been discussion about what the fee represents,” said Meg Walton, Empire Village Council trustee. “How many people get licenses? Do you cap them by percentage or number?”
