Noon Siren

The noon siren has failed. This model has not been manufactured in over 40 years and is not a repairable option. This is jointly owned by the Village and the Township. Both entities are reviewing the future options as to where to place it and how to fund it. Replacement cost is estimated around $10,000 for each entity. To correct any false or misleading information; at no time has any Village official said it was going to be eliminated. This topic will be discussed at a future council meeting.
