DMV reopens on George Urban Boulevard
One of the most common interactions we will have with our government is through the Department of Motor Vehicles. We all, at some point in our lives, will have to visit our local DMV office to register a car or renew your license. The DMV is a vital part of county government. The Depew branch has been closed for a while due to renovations to the building. That has left many residents without a local DMV in their neighborhood.
