In 2023, the Village will be celebrating its 85th Anniversary.  The Village Board created a subcommittee of the Public Celebrations Committee to plan for special events to celebrate the Villages 85th.  The Village is seeking volunteers to serve on this Committee.

The May 17th Village Board meeting has been rescheduled to Tuesday May 24th at 7:00 pm.

At a Special Village Board meeting held on April 26th the Board approved an ordinance change that would allow property owners to participate in "No Mow May".  No Mow May has become a popular initiative that encourages people to stop mowing or less often for the month of May.  Letting your grass and weeds grow during the month of May provides a pollinator-friendly habitat in the early growing season for bees, butterflies and other insects.  Participation is completely voluntary.  The Village, as well as Greendale Schools, will be participating in certain green space areas, and signage will be placed by those areas.  There are other ways to promote a pollinator friendly habitat such as reducing pesticide usage and planting pollinator friendly plants.

There will be a limited number of No Mow May signs available to purchase at the Welcome Center starting on Thursday May 5th, for $20 a sign.

In the Budget the Village Board added approximately $5 million in additional funding for Capital projects in 2022.  The additional funding will help the Village catch up on deferred maintenance for road rehabilitation, street lighting, water mains and pathways.  A list of projects were bid out, including a number of alternate projects that would be considered depending on how bid pricing came in.   The Board reviewed and approved the bids at their meeting on February 15th.  All projects that were bid out will be completed in 2022.

The Village Board approved a resolution at their June 1st meeting that will work to acquire the restrictive covenants governing the 100-acre Southridge Mall property and extinguish those which encumber all parcels associated with the mall and significantly limit redevelopment opportunites.

The New Recycling Center hours will take effect March 1, 2022 and are listed below.

• Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 7:00AM-3:00PM
• Tuesday and Thursday Closed
• Saturday (April-December) 8:00AM-4:00PM

When Todd Michaels announced his retirement after over 24 years of service with the Village, the Village Board conducted a nationwide recruitment to fill the position of Village Manager.

After reviewing numerous applications, four were selected to meet via teleconference.  Following the interviews, the Village Board selected three finalists.  One of the finalists removed themselves from consideration. The remaining two finalists participated in a battery of examinations, which included an open forum with residents. 

 

At the December 21st Board meeting the Board approved a redevelopment agreement for the former Boston Store site with Barrett Lo Visionary Development.  The proposed redevelopment will include a mix of retail and apartments.  Please see attached press release for additional information.
