Meetings

All Village meetings are open to the public, and are held on Wednesdays at the Aurora Firehouse Meeting Room, 456 Main St., unless otherwise noted.  To view minutes from previous meetings, go to the Boards page. As of November 1, given the increase in Covid cases in our county, the total number of people allowed in the village meeting room at one time is limited to 10.

Applications that require CPP, PB or ZBA review must be received in the office at least 10 days prior for code/zoning consideration.

Please Note: public comment during the Visitor Welcome is suspended until further notice. (Comments may be submitted in writing and will be distributed to the appropriate Board for their consideration.)  If your issue is addressed to the Board of Trustees and requires board preparation and action (vote), please submit it in writing to the village office seven days prior to the meeting so that it will appear on the agenda. Agendas are posted on the website and in both village bulletin boards located at the post office and the village office; an accurate agenda lets your neighbors know what will be discussed.

Go the the Boards page for meeting information and agendas.

Historical Society 

Yes, the Aurora Historical Society/Village History Center is open! To make an appointment, call or text (315)-246-1130. The show “Scoundrels and Scamps” was featured online, but some especially interesting items were omitted, so that you could have the pleasure of discovering them for yourself. Besides, the stories are great fun, and bear re-telling. Speaking of stories, please visit the Village of Aurora Historical Society’s Facebook page. The current series connects one of Aurora’s freedom-seeker families to Civil-War-era events ranging from Lincoln’s assassination to Emily Howland’s work at Camp Todd, teaching “contrabands.” Find out where the story goes next! And.. much more on the history of Aurora right here.

Community Events

In 2020, the Aurora Farmers’ Market and the Village of Aurora provided a longer farmers’ market season.  After the last Saturday market at the Boathouse on 9/26, the market moved to Tuesday, 4:00-5:00 pm, at the Patrick Tavern parking lot (corner of Main St. and Dublin Hill Rd, across from St. Patrick’s Church). The Mobile Market format, available through December, emphasized ordering ahead for pick-up. It’s ideal for people who want to avoid crowded stores. There’s easy parking and service right to your car if you wish. Check it out even if you forget to order; there's usually be extras available. Look for reopening in the Spring!
