I would like to sincerely thank the North Hornell Village residents who supported me during the recent election. I'm proud to serve on the Village Board of Trustees once again And uphold the Village responsibilities to better our community. I served on the Village Zoning Board for 3 years prior to my first seat as a Village Trustee, and have since served five terms.


My family moved to North Hornell in 1987 and we raised our two children who both attended St. Ann's and Hornell High School. As a young adult, I spent my summers with family in Hornell. I am a Vietnam Veteran.


North Hornell is a beautiful community and I hope to uphold the responsibilities to keep it that way. As a member of the Board, I plan on working with the other trustees to continue making our community a safe and healthy environment for all.

My name is Brian Friedland.


I am proud to be a Trustee in the Village of North Hornell.  I have called North Hornell home for 35 years.  I raised my family here and am now retired with my wife on Seneca Road.


My background is in public education.  I still enjoy learning - from books, friends, even online.  I hope to learn from you in the coming days, weeks and months ahead.  I want to know how we can make North Hornell a safe and thriving community for every generation. 


As I take on this new role as Village Trustee, my wish is to be transparent, honest and most of all an advocate for the people of North Hornell.
