Empire Council discusses STRs

Short Term Rentals (STR) and a new village attorney were the main topics of discussion at this month’s public Village Council work session. The meeting was well attended by local residents and many attendees spoke up during both public comment opportunities about their concerns regarding STRs in the area.

After six years of debate and strategizing over what to do about STRs in the village, the council was determined to make some decisions during the work session. Council President Dan Davis began by taking a poll of the council members by show of hand to see where each of them stand on STR regulation options.

“The way I see it we have three options: we can do nothing, we can have a registration, or we can write an ordinance,” Davis explained.
