The Clay Highway Department is a municipal government agency serving the Town of Clay, New York, dedicated to maintaining and improving the town’s roadway infrastructure. Its primary mission is to ensure safe, accessible, and efficient travel for residents, businesses, and visitors throughout the year. The department is responsible for more than 200 miles of roads, overseeing all aspects of road maintenance—including snow plowing, pothole repair, paving, and drainage system upkeep.

It places strong importance on transparency, public safety, and infrastructure longevity, all while managing resources efficiently for taxpayer value.
