SPRING IS HERE!
Grant Park beautification projects are in the planning stages. You can expect to see road work, flowers, painting, and some improvements to village buildings. As the Clean Up, Paint Up, Fix Up bug bites you, remember to check with the Village to see if you need any permits. Keep in mind that WE are our own ambassadors for our town. The way our property looks can make a difference in potential businesses and new residents joining us. That translates to increases in revenue as well as increased property values for us all.
