Thank you to all the residents, visitors, and vendors who helped make The Annual Candlelight Stroll a wonderful success last night. It was a beautiful evening and well attended. Thank you to our sponsors and staff - Washington Specialty Shops, Our Savior Lutheran Church and our very own Mayor, Gary Manier for without them, this event would not be possible. A special thank you to Create A Scene, Inc. for lighting up the square and creating a beautiful Christmas scene, the Washington Fire Department for carrying Santa and the Grinch. Thank you to our own City Clerk Pat Brown and Building & Zoning Supervisor Becky Thieme Holmes for the attached pictures and video. And everyone who is not mentioned (extreme apologies) that also helped make this a great event. Everyone's efforts are definitely appreciated. Make sure to check out the picture of Mayor Gary Manier and his beautiful wife Lada in the comments. (Sorry Gary that this wasn't in the original post).

UPDATE: The initial water main repairs on Kern Road have been completed and a boil order did NOT need to be issued. (Great job crew!). Final repairs to the road, curb and driveway will be completed as the weather allows.A water leak has been detected on Kern Road close to 1107 Kern. A boil order may be issued depending on the repair. Our City crew is on site and we will keep everyone updated. A better picture of the area is located in the comments.
We asked. You spoke. We listened. A little delayed but not forgotten. Here is a link to our press release regarding the survey results, the strategic work planning session and the 2020-2023 new City Council goals: www.ci.washington.il.us/egov/documents/1575301401_63019.pdf
It is the 223 acres located at the intersection of Nofsinger and Route 24.
If one of the items in the top 10 did not make the goal list, will it ever be a priority? Specifically the storm water issue. I have tried time and time again this year to get some action on this from the council, yet it never seems to be prioritized. I have personally been flooded 4 times this year due to excessive storm water. I don't personally care about the 223 property, I'd rather have my current issues addressed.
Only 836 responses? That’s disappointing.
This is promising and very important! Thank you.
What/where is the “223 property”?
Why keep pushing the 223 project? We have plenty of underdeveloped, half developed, and abandoned commercial spaces to work through vs going after a space that appears to be a pet project for some who are trying to o drive its relevance.
