Goshen Village Mayor Molly O’Donnell is resigning from her position effective March 13, according to a March 2 announcement on the village’s Facebook page.
This is O’Donnell’s second mayoral term after first being elected in 2023.
She will continue serving in her other job as the Commissioner of Jurors for Orange County, the post stated.
“I am truly grateful for the opportunity to serve in both roles,” the statement read, “but I cannot hold them simultaneously. Serving this community has meant more to me than words can express, and my commitment to Goshen remains strong. I’ll see you around the Village — and maybe even at jury duty!”
What’s next?
Deputy Mayor Scott Wohl is expected to assume O’Donnell’s role at her last public board meeting on March 9. Wohl has previously served as Goshen mayor.
O’Donnell and Wohl could not immediately be reached for comment.
