The Village of Empire is in the beginning stages of crafting a new short-term rental (STRs) ordinance that is prime to spark debate in the community with the highest density of shortterm rentals in the county.
A committee of March Dye and Meg Walton representing the council; Carrie Ford and Bob Chase representing the planning commission, met on Tuesday to “review answers from various municipalities concerning STRs, and continue with discussion of items to potentially include in an ordinance.”
“We are contacting other communities to see what they are doing,” Dye said. “We haven’t done anything ... Empire is one of the last communities that doesn’t have an ordinance.”
