Village Residents: Beginning tomorrow Tuesday April 14th the Village DPW will begin collection of brush and leaves that are curb side from around the Village street. Due to time, weather and man power constraints not all Village streets may be collected in the same day or even same week.

Please bear with us as we complete this task and please abide by current social distancing requirements when having contact with our DPW workforce.

Village Residents: Effective Immediately the Nick Wilson Memorial Bike Park and the Playground areas of the Trout Ponds Park will be closed until further notice.

It saddens us to have to close these community recreation staples but at this time we must do what is best for our small community as a whole. We have high hopes to reopen these areas so that they may be enjoyed this summer.
