"The Village of Sherman has transformed from its historic roots as a sawmill and dairy farming community to become a Village which cultivates economic, educational, and recreational opportunities for families and residents of all ages..."
"Preserving our past;
serving today, while working for our future."
Vision Statement
The Village of Sherman’s success in transitioning to a family-orientated ‘bedroom community’ relies on its ability to adapt by leveraging its geographic location, natural assets, and achieving a Trail Town Designation, with its sustainability dependent on growing ecotourism and regional agritourism and creating amenities attracting visitors and commuters to the region. All this while providing community services and enhancing engagement through placemaking, maintaining and building diverse housing options, connecting people within the safe walkable and bikeable community, and incorporating green resiliency into planning and development practices. The focus on outdoor and recreational opportunities contributes to a healthy living environment for residents, supports small businesses by providing accommodations for visitors, and strengthens the local economy.

Governor Hochul announced the creation of the NY Forward program to invigorate and enliven downtowns in New York’s smaller and rural communities—the type of downtowns found in villages, hamlets and other small, neighborhood-scale municipal centers. NY Forward builds on the success of the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) by adopting the same “Plan-then-Act” strategy as the DRI.
