Periodically, the Village e-mails updates regarding area road projects to individuals who have subscribed to the Village-Announce Construction & Development Updates list serve. This electronic news delivery system includes information on road and street right-of-way construction projects taking place in the community during the construction season. The listserv also includes information on potential new development within the community that will not require a public hearing based upon the proposed use and current property zoning. In an effort to keep residents well-informed, these e-mail announcements will also be posted to this web page.
