ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — We've been telling you about towns in our area canceling property assessments due to the coronavirus. One viewer emailed us asking why the Town of Gates is still moving forward with assessments.

News10NBC’s Nikki Rudd took that question to Gates Town Supervisor Cosmo Giunta. He declined to talk to us on camera, but told us the town already completed the informal process back on March 5. That was before the virus had been confirmed in Monroe County. Because of the efforts, resources and money already spent on the assessments, Gates town leaders decided they will not suspend or cancel them.
