“We ask that people don’t put out their limbs and branches until after Wednesday, May 1,” Mayor Mike Rick said.
Village council passed legislation to purchase a new 2024 Ford E-450 Gas Chassis ambulance from Penn Care, Inc. for $245,000.
“The ambulance we have now is just getting old,” Rick said.
Expected delivery of the new ambulance is in October.

The township will open up its annual chip-and-seal bids this week. Five to six miles of roads are done every year.
