The Official Town of Geddes Website

On behalf of myself and the Geddes Town Board, we would like to welcome you to the new Town website and also thank you for taking the time to visit!

Our goal is to provide you with the most up-to-date and informative web page possible.  We want to keep the residents informed of not only our government information, but with local community information as well.

We hope that this website will connect us with our residents and provide yet another tool to stay informed.  Please feel free to contact me or any other department if you need anything.
