More construction starting tomorrow. No parking on Edgewood, George, and Blagrove St by the VFW and Hotel both sides of the streets. Grinding will start tomorrow with paving to follow. Please watch out for all the workers and try to avoid these areas if possible.

Here Fishy Fishy. This is what $2,000 worth of fish looks like. I want to thank the Village of Richwood, The Richwood Trailblazers, and Donnie Ridgeway and the Kids Blue Gill event for donating to the cause. We put a little bit of everything in the lake today.

FYI
The Village has been operating water valves and flushing hydrants in the Northwest portion of town today due to the ongoing construction project. Because of this, some residents may experience temporary discoloration/rust colored water. If that happens, run a cold water tap for about 15-20 minutes or until it runs clear. Sorry for the inconvenience.
