NEWS RELEASE

Provided by David Grosse, Village President

5 May 2010

First time in over ten (10) years, new street improvements for the Village of Three Oaks!

As promised, the Village of Three Oaks has begun the long awaited “Street Improvement Plan”. Reconstruction and complete re-paving of Paw Paw Street and West Locust Street is expected to be completed before Memorial Day. Our commitment was to re-pave North Elm street this spring. However, we have submitted a grant application with the USDA Rural Development agency for a major upgrade of our water system. Upon receipt of the grant, work will begin in early 2011. It would not be fiscally responsible to spend approximately $90,000 to re-pave North Elm Street this year, and remove it next year for the water project.

Our goal is to pave and rebuild as many streets as possible with annual street revenues. We continue to work diligently to coordinate the street work with the proposed water grant to maximize our financial resources and avoid costly duplication.

We also have a grant commitment to help reconstruct portions of South Elm Street in 2011. The extent of the improvements will be based in part upon the amount of the water grant and the scope of the water project.

Currently, our village street personnel are installing a new base on Paw Paw Street between Elm Street and Oak Street. As a part of our “Long Term Street Improvement Plan”, new base will be installed in all areas necessary to insure longer road durability.

Reith-Riley Construction Co. began removing and replacing curb and gutter on Paw Paw Street and Locust Street today, in preparation for their re-paving.

We thank our residents and business owners for their patience with the “Long Term Street Improvement Plan”. Our objective is to restore all the streets of Three Oaks to an acceptable grade which our residents and visitors have come to expect.
