2026 Supervisor Election Candidates
Chili’s 2026 supervisor race is about who runs your town—and that means real say over budgets, development, and everyday services. The candidates aren’t named in this snippet, but the race itself is the big deal: your vote picks the person steering local decisions for years.
Neighborhood speeding and e-bike safety
A resident complained that garbage cans and brush block bike and walking lanes on Chestnut Ridge Road. The Supervisor confirmed an ordinance exists and asked residents to report violations.
Solar Farm Development Policy
A resident asked how many acres Chili plans for solar farms. The Supervisor explained the town doesn't build solar farms — private developers apply, the town requires host community agreements, and no tax incentives are offered.
Pit Bull Safety Advocacy
A dog-bite victims activist urged the board to act on what she called rising pit bull attacks in Monroe County, citing statistics and calling for stronger enforcement of dog laws.
Hillside Children's Center campus expansion
Hillside is adding 930 square feet to its Valhalla Cottage at 2075 Scottsville Road, funded by philanthropy, following last year's successful new cottage construction. Same number of residents, just more space for them.
Union Street industrial subdivision revival
SMATTL Holdings is reviving an eight-lot industrial park approved in 2023, now with a lot under contract to a buyer. The board re-granted preliminary approvals before the Army Corps wetland jurisdiction determination expires in November.
