Village Square Shopping Center

Have you been wondering what is happening in the Village Square Shopping Center parking lot (where Ben Franklin and the Family Dollar Store are located)? A new water line is being installed and should be completed this week.

200 North Overpass Lights

A lot of citizens have been asking when the street lights on the bridge will be turned on. The short answer to that question is ... soon. We have been told by the electrician that they will be on sometime this week. We hope that is true.

Update on 9-3-08: Sorry about the delay on this project. We keep getting promises from the electrical contractor, who promises us each week that it will be done that week. Mayor Roundy has decided to personally call the contractor to see if the work can be done immediately. We are all anxious to see how the lighting will look. Hopefully, it will be done before winter!

Update on 9-9-08: Mayor Roundy said, "Let There Be Light." And there was light. As of yesterday, the lights were on. They are beautiful! Good project done.

200 North Overpass

The 200 North overpass project is now finished and looks great. What a big project that was! It is good to have that done and have traffic be able to move up and over the railroad tracks. We are grateful for the federal funding that made this project possible. In case you have not seen the plaque at the top of the bridge (on the north side), here is a close up look at it.
