Carl Vilardo Jr. (pictured above with family and friends), a life-long Westfield resident and former Westfield Town Board member was honored recently when the Board unanimously named a road after him.

On Wednesday, May 1st, 2013 the Town Board of the Town of Westfield passed a resolution to officially change the name of Reid Road in the Town of Westfield to Vilardo Road. This action was in honor of Carl Vilardo Jr.'s 38 years of service as a Town Board member and also to recognize the more than 100 years of the Vilardo family's role in the agricultural community.

Exemplifying a true shared service, workers from both the Town of Westfield and the Village of Westfield began the task of replacing the aging light posts on the Barcelona Pier. Ten new light posts were obtained by the Westfield Town Board as part of a NYS Department of State Local Waterfront Revitalization Program grant for overall improvements to the pier in Barcelona. The new light posts, although rustic in appearance, incorporate energy efficient LED technology.
