ReTree Hamburg is a volunteer group working with the Village of Hamburg to reestablish the beautiful tree canopy for which Hamburg was known.  You can leave a legacy of green for your children by purchasing a tree in tribute to a loved one, in celebration of a special event or just to beautify your neighborhood.  The goal is to plant 150 trees in the village streetscape in 2024 to celebrate the 150-year anniversary of the Village of Hamburg.  For more information about Re-Tree Hamburg and how you can support this effort, please click on read more below.

Update:  Mayor Tallman will continue to keep residents updated regarding the matter of the homeless individuals and families housed at hotels in the village.  Please see the attached letter with regard to the children attending local schools.

The Erie County Department of Social Services (DSS) has informed the Village of Hamburg that they have entered into a private contract with the owner of the Super 8 and Quality Inn to book up to 120 rooms until the end of the year for the purpose of temporarily housing homeless individuals and families.  At no point was the Village of Hamburg consulted, made aware of, or approve of this arrangement.  The contract is between Erie County DSS and the private hotel operator.
