Snow Removal- There has been a considerably larger amount of snow bank buildup this year than in the last few years. The reason this is occurring is due to the amount of snow received in the short amount of time. Most other communities are struggling with the same issues as we are, with snow build up. When the snow stops and the DPW has the streets cleared they will begin removing snow banks.
M-113
The M-113 project will restart in spring to finish the north side of M-113 with side walks and streetlights. As outlined in the Village newsletter, there were several factors causing the delay in this project and everyone’s patience has been and will continue to be greatly appreciated.
Library
The Library and Village Hall project is moving along. The painters have started applying the primer to the drywall! There have been some delays and the building will not be ready to occupy as soon as everyone anticipated.
Plans for both projects are available at the Village offices for viewing.
