Mosley. “Through the Downtown Revitalization Initiative, projects like Walkerbilt Park are helping to strengthen local businesses, create vibrant public spaces, celebrate the village’s unique heritage and improve quality of life for residents and visitors alike. The Department of State is proud to support the Village of Penn Yan as it continues to build a stronger, more connected downtown for the future.”
