A Message from Mark W. Assini, Town Supervisor:

Gates, New York is a dynamic town located in Monroe County with an interesting past and a bright future. The town was organized in 1797 as Northampton in Ontario County. In 1808 the community was subdivided and the portion still known as Northampton was renamed Gates in 1813 in honor of Revolutionary War General Horatio Gates. Later parts of the town were detached to form the City of Rochester and Town of Greece.

We are the geographic center of Monroe County and currently have a population of over 29,000 residents. Easy access exists to expressways in all parts of town. We are blessed with two outstanding school districts including Gates-Chili for most of the town and Spencerport in portions of western Gates. Our mix of industrial, commercial and residential properties is the proper balance to hold taxes stable while keeping a hometown feel.

Our housing is among the most affordable in the country. In 2007, CNNMoney.com had Gates as the 16th best real estate bargain in the country.
Residents enjoy high quality services from our Police Department, Recreation Department, Highway Department, Senior Center as well as all of our professionally run departments at Gates Town Hall.

From Wal-Mart to Tinseltown and from Rochester Tech Park to Lions Park our town is a great place to live, work and raise a family. I am a lifelong Gates resident not by necessity but by choice. I am proud to call Gates my hometown.

Please let me know if I can be of assistance to you in some way. My door is always open but if you would like to call, my number is 247-6100 or you may contact me via email.

Best Regards,
Mark Assini
Gates Town Supervisor
