The Village would like to remind residents of the leash law for dogs. No dogs are allowed to run at large within village limits. See local law #28 under ordinances on this website for full details. Also it is against the law to allow your dog to urinate, defecate or to commit any other nuisance in any park, in any public building, in any store, parking lot, or upon any public sidewalk, or on private property. Please pick up after your dog while walking within the Village limits or tickets may be issued from complaints.
The Village of Adams now has 5 Pet Waste stations. They are located at Arbor Park on the main corner, downtown next to the Memorial Park/Bridge, in front of Family Dollar, next to Dr. Ferry's parking lot and in front of 42 N. Park St. 2 more will soon be installed outside of the Post Office and on the corner of Hungerford Ave. and Roberts St. on Mr. Sheley's property. We urge all dog walkers to use the bags, provided at each station, when needed and dispose of the waste properly. A very big thank you to the Adams Revitalization Committee, the Village of Adams and Diane Ferry, DVM.

Welcome!
The Village
of Adams is located in Northern New York about 50 miles north of
Syracuse and 50 miles south of the Canadian border along the
I-81 corridor. The Village was incorporated on December 23,
1857, 150 years ago. The village is the birthplace of J.
Sterling Morton who was the founder of Arbor Day. We therefore
call ourselves the Arbor Day Village.
The Village
owns and operates our own water and wastewater treatment
plants. Water is delivered to customers inside and outside the
village and we also contract with the Adams Center Water
District owned by the Town of Adams for their customer’s
consumption of water.
We provide
services through part-time police protection and a satellite
office for the New York State Troopers is provided by the
Village in our old municipal building.
The Village
fire department has a roster of 60 volunteer members who
actively provide protection to our residents and to the
surrounding areas with mutual aid.
There are
several different zoning districts which include residential,
general commercial, industrial and a wellhead protection
overlay.
The downtown
area has been designated as a historic district by the State and
National Registry. Please check out the history link on this
website for additional history information about Adams and
