Thank You for Your Service

The Village would like to thank Craig Groshek for his 20 years of faithful and dedicated service as a Utility Operator in the Public Works department.  Craig is moving on to a utility operator position in a neighboring community. Craig has truly exemplified some of the best aspects of serving the public and he will be missed. We hope Craig experiences success in his new position, and in all of his pursuits in the future.
