About this Location

Facility Overview

The Wellsville Highway Department facility is situated at 41 W Hanover Street in the scenic village of Wellsville, New York. Serving primarily as the operational headquarters and municipal garage for the Town of Wellsville’s highway and maintenance crews, the location features an open-air surface parking footprint. The lot layout accommodates municipal vehicles, road machinery, and visitor parking for residents conducting official business, contractors, and authorized personnel. Because it is an open-air surface facility without overhead structures, decks, or parking canopies, there are no vertical clearance height restrictions. This open headroom configuration makes it easily accessible for standard passenger sedans, pickup trucks, full-size commercial work trucks, high-roof vans, trailers, and heavy-duty vehicles.
