Welcome to the new Village of Port Byron Website.

• The Village will host a meet & greet June 6, 2008 from 1-4pm at Village Hall for residents and Business owners to meet our R.I. County Officers.  This is a time to get to know each of the officers and for asking questions and addressing concerns regarding policing activities.
• The Village is planning a Community Garden.  If anyone is interested in a plot for gardening, please contact Village Hall at 523-3705 and ask for Donna.  Hopefully the site will be ready by the middle of the last week of May.
• The Village is attempting to start a Farmer's Market.  It will be held initially on Tuesday afternoons from 3-7pm on Main Street by the Pavillion.  Please support our local vendors and help the market grow. A few vendors have products available already.  Please call Donna at Village Hall (523-3705) or Sarah Ford at (309)269-8705 if you have any questions or would like to participate.
