Some exciting news for DT Oswego!!

Exciting news, Oswego! 🍕🎉

Billy Bricks Wood Fired Pizza is coming to downtown at 5 S. Madison Street, next to Freddie’s Off the Chain. After finalizing a lease last week, Billy Bricks and their landlord are now working together to submit permit plans which will involve a substantial renovation of the 1,800 SF building. The project timeline is still TBD, but they’re anticipated to open by later this year.

On tonight’s committee of the whole agenda is a discussion of the grocery tax. If approved, I will be attending the meeting virtually due to a virus I picked up over the holiday weekend. The map of those municipalities that have already enacted the tax is in the comments as well as on the agenda. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Here is link to the agenda with the information presented to the board. Take a look at the info. 😊

Is it me, or is it strange that this account is coming after me personally just for asking who the admin is? Originally, this account was true to its name and had some really great reviews of local businesses, but something took a turn and it started doing quasi-political posts that seem to be trying to bait people into arguments. It concerns me because this is a community that comes together, and this doesn't seem to be supporting that. Does anyone know who runs this account so I can help them understand my concerns?

So happy to be able to help support the Oswego Senior and Community Center! The village used some of the budget surplus to donate to the OSCC’s capital campaign.

We're proud to support the incredible work of the Oswego Senior Center, a vital resource for our community! During last week’s Board meeting, the Village Board had the honor of presenting them with a check to support their Capital Campaign, which will further their mission of enriching lives through programs, services and social opportunities. Thank you for all you do to make Oswego a better place for everyone!

New Store Alert! Daiso opened on February 8th and is the only US location to carry their sister line of Standard Products! I was able to attend the ribbon cutting and talk to the customers who were very excited about this new store!

I remember getting a call from my husband about this happening. I was home with our 2 month old baby. It was shocking to watch especially as the second plane hit in real time.

I especially remember going to Church the Sunday after 9/11 and being comforted by our pastor’s words. It was such a difficult time in our country but we came together as Americans. Now, 23 years later and we will never forget.
