Dealing with the DMV just got a little bit easier in the Village of Bergen. At the urging of Trustee Anne Marie Barclay, the county (through the efforts of the County Clerk's Office, and the highway department) installed a DMV drop box outside the village hall.
"One of the things we always work to improve is the quality of life in Bergen and to bring more people into the village and we think this will do that," Barclay said.
Mayor Ralph Marsocci praised the effort and thanked county staff for making it possible.
Leslie Krajewski, deputy county clerk, said the clerk's office projects that the drop box will pay for itself by September.
The drop box will make it more convenient for people in the northeast part of the county, as well as areas neighboring that part of the county, to take care of their DMV business.
By using the drop box, DMV customers will cut two or three days off the time it takes to complete a transaction.
