Bill McBride, his wife, Sean, and their four children moved into a historic house in the Village of Pittsford in 1994 from a different residential environment in the Town of Pittsford. “We were interested in the unique quality of life that the village could offer a family. We were not disappointed. The proximity and quality of the shops, schools and services, the nearby diversity of families and the physical character of the Village gave us what we were looking for in the living environment. I am interested in helping to maintain and enhance this unique environment.”
