Your voice matters.

If you care about preserving Albion's historic brick streets, please consider attending tonight's Albion City Council Meeting.

Albion City Hall
Monday, August 3
7:00 p.m.

Members of the Citizens Brick Street Committee will be presenting information and asking the City Council to pause the proposed Elm Street Project so that additional options for preserving the historic brick street between 4th and 5th Street can be explored.

Whether you support preservation, have questions, or simply want to stay informed about a project that could shape the future of our historic downtown, your attendance matters.

A strong community presence shows that residents care about the decisions being made for Albion's future.

Please join us tonight and let your voice be heard.
