About the Campaign


The campaign to elect Steve Nazarian as Penfield’s next Town Supervisor can be summed up in a single phrase:

It’s Time To Be Great!

Compared to nearly every other place in the world, we are fortunate to live in a clean, safe and vibrant community.   Unfortunately, party politics and decades of stagnation have produced an acceptable, but complacent town government that lacks creativity and innovation.  Things in Penfield are good, but now It’s Time To Be Great.

As the coming months unfold, you will see a wide variety of issues, concerns and situations discussed on this website.  At its foundation, this campaign is about achieving the following:

Clear, open and proactive communication with the citizens on all town business

 This very website will illustrate how this can work.

A dramatic increase in resident involvement in all aspects of town government

Citizens who know what is going on are far more likely to participate.

An equally dramatic increase in business development efforts in all commercial areas

We have several business centers in Penfield, all with unique characteristics.  They should all be developed both short and long term to take advantage of what they each have to offer.

A logical and reasonable balance between business and residential land use

Residents and business owners are both important, contributing citizens of Penfield.  When their needs appear to be in conflict, it is the responsibility of the government to mediate.

Keeping taxes at least level (and possibly lowering them) through:

 Diligent fiscal prudence

 A complete review of all town expenses, their necessity and relevance

 Short, medium and long term planning to ensure the effective use of every tax dollar collected

 Environmentally friendly programs to reduce waste, energy usage and cost

New and improved town programs based on recent survey results, community input and focus groups

Continued research into town-wide initiatives including but not limited to:

Leaf & Garbage Collection

Growth in Parks & Recreation offerings for citizens of all ages and interest

A materially stronger partnership between the Town of Penfield and the Penfield School District

We plan on running a modern, highly efficient, environmentally responsible campaign with very little direct mail.  Our primary communication medium will be this website.  We will be driving traffic to the website through bumper stickers, yard signs, re-usable water bottles and a constant public relations effort.
