Canisteo Mayor McInroy Is Not Running Again – And The Possiblity Of Lowering The Speed Limit On W Main

Canisteo Village Mayor Rick McInroy announced last Monday night that he is not running again. His seat will be up in March 16, 2027 and his term officially ends this coming year, on April 5, 2027.

There are two Village Trustee seats to be voted on in the upcoming elections on March 16: the seats currently occupied by Bob Hammond and James Dineen. In other Canisteo Village news, there will be a public hearing on a local law about possibly lowering the speed limit from 40 mph to 30 mph on West Main Street near the Canisteo American Legion.

Iconic Laf-A-Lot reopens on Loon Lake after massive rebuild in Wayland

Everyone is smiling again at the Laf-A-Lot. An iconic Steuben County lakeside bar and restaurant reopened recently after a complete rebuild by its new owners. The Laf -A-Lot on Loon Lake is "pouring beers once again," Chuck Cavallaro posted Nov. 2 on the "What's going on around Wayland" Facebook page. The bar's signature cocktail, the Blue Whale, is presumably being mixed and poured again, too. The Laf-A-Lot had been closed since December 2025. Former owners Ed and Paula Kauffman sold the 100 Laf A Lot Road business to Chuck Cavallaro and his wife, Joanne Cavallaro, in March 2026. The couple, along with family members and even many of Cavallaros' neighbors on Loon Lake, immediately got to work restoring the existing bar and restaurant. “The next day (after the sale closed) I was at the bar with a crowbar and a hammer, and we started taking stuff apart," Chuck Cavallaro, a semi-retired medical doctor, told The Evening Tribune last spring. The old bar and restaurant was essentially stripped down to its studs and rebuilt, with the old floor and roof replaced, a new bar installed and a larger kitchen with updated equipment constructed. The Cavallaros documented nearly every step in the

Hornell’s speakeasy themed lounge “Hush” will close permanently on December 26

The Main Street cocktail destination opened in 2022. Announcement from Hush, Follow Hush on Facebook for their final events. Well, the time has come to say our goodbyes in the most positive way. When we opened Hush. in 2022 it was with a dream to bring something entirely different to our small town. Something that may have never existed if we did not take the leap. At that time my mom (and partner) was recently retired, and I had graduated college and was trying to figure it all out.

Mayor Buckley still looking for answers on gas prices in the Canisteo Valley, sends letter to Governor Hochul

Earlier this year, I brought attention to the significant disparity in gasoline prices between our communities here in the Canisteo Valley and neighboring areas such as Bath. For several years, residents in Hornell, Canisteo, North Hornell, Arkport, and Hornellsville have routinely paid 30 to 40 cents more per gallon at local gas stations, despite being just a short distance from communities enjoying considerably lower prices.

The 2026 Steuben County Budget Presentation

FROM STEUBEN COUNTY: Steuben County Manager and Budget Officer Jack K. Wheeler presented the proposed 2027 Steuben County budget today before members of the community and the Steuben County Legislature, outlining a financial plan focused on maintaining essential services, investing in public safety and infrastructure, and protecting local taxpayers amid rising state and federal costs. Despite significant financial pressures associated with state mandates, foster care, SNAP administration and employee expenses, the proposed budget maintains a property tax levy increase well below the New York State tax cap while continuing the County’s longstanding trend of reducing the average full-value property tax rate. “Developing this budget required difficult decisions and careful financial planning. We’re facing significant increases in mandated costs, particularly in Social Services, while continuing to invest in public safety, our roads and the services our residents depend on. Through responsible budgeting, conservative revenue forecasting and the work of our Legislature, department heads and employees, we’ve developed a plan that addresses these challenges while remaining well below the New York State tax cap. “

Steuben County Land Bank builds first new home, plans more in Erwin

The Steuben County Land Bank is tearing some properties down and building others up around the Corning area. One of the projects marks an historic first for the non-profit, one that is setting the stage for an even bigger boost to the local housing stock. The Land Bank this fall demolished a fire-damaged property at 40 Mill St. in the town of Erwin. The property will be sub-divided into a handful of individual parcels where new homes will be constructed over the next few years. “That would be our biggest project,” said Chris Brewer, executive director of the Steuben County Land Bank. “Hopefully we start breaking ground next year on that project. That will be a fun one.” Brewer said the new Erwin homes will follow a playbook established at 20 Townsend Ave. in Riverside, where the Land Bank is currently in the midst of its first-ever new build. While the Land Bank had undertaken major renovations at previous projects, the Riverside home is the first it has built from the ground up. “That’s the first of its kind. That’s the first new build the Land Bank has ever done,” Brewer said. “Typically we do rehabs or demos. We’re testing
