Whitesboro residents are still coping with the lingering flood damage left behind from the Halloween storm.

Residents got an opportunity to voice their concerns with local lawmakers on Tuesday evening. 

Village officials hope these types of meetings will continue to help create an understanding of what happens next.

Some residents have been plagued by the village’s flooding. The constant threat has the mayor pushing for FEMA buyouts of properties that have experienced several flood events.

"These people haven't suffered just one flood, they've suffered flood after flood after flood,” said Whitesboro Mayor said Robert Friedlander. “There's no longer any knot at the end of the rope to hang on to. They can't hear excuses and solutions other than a buyout.”

Many residents at the meeting agree with this idea.

"It's good to hear the mayor is in support of potential buyouts, because I think that's ultimately what has to happen for some of us,” said Vincent Turczyn said.

But whether these buyouts will happen remains unclear. Regardless of the obstacles, the mayor said he will continue pushing for them.

Village officials are also hoping that these buyouts, if they happen, will offer homeowners market value for their properties.

Regardless of what happens residents are hoping for short and long-term solutions.

Local lawmakers are urging those impacted by the floods to continue contacting various levels of government to push for assistance.

The village is also accepting clothing donations for flood victims in the village’s offices.
