The Village has begun the 2019 Strategic Planning process!

The Village held strategic planning workshops on February 11 and 12, 2019 for the 2019 Strategic Plan. Thank you to all that completed the Strategic Plan survey; the results were shared with the Village Board prior to the Strategic Planning Workshop.
