AIRSTREAM CREATING 99 NEW JOBS!

IMPORTANT: SNOW REMOVAL

Please be considerate of others when removing snow from your property.   Jackson Center Village crews do an excellent job of clearing the roads and downtown sidewalks.  For the safety of our residents it is imperative that property owners take responsibility to clear their own sidewalks.  There are many children who walk to school and other residents who use the sidewalks frequently.  When they are clogged with snow, residents are forced to walk in the street.  Shoveling assistance is available by the FFA to eligible residents by phoning the village office at 596-6314.
In addition, there is currently an ordinance pending with council regarding snow removal.  When clearing snow from your property, it should remain on your property.  Do not blow snow from your property onto a neighbors property or onto the road.  Putting additional snow on the roads costs the village additional money as it forces crews to work longer to keep the roads clear.
We are proud of  the efforts of our village crews and would appreciate your cooperation in supporting their work and ensuring the safety of our residents.
