The Village has been researching water tanks, steel versus concrete, to replace the

existing concrete storage tank on Kirkner Hill Road. The Village has received a state

grant for replacement of the tank along with a subsidized loan through the

Environmental Facilities Corp. revolving loan fund. Bell Engineering has been providing

engineering services for the project.

development program.


Minutes of a special Jan. 3 board meeting indicate the Comprehensive Planning

is complete there will be a public meeting inviting the participation of village residents

sometime over the next two months.
