To charge all residents for services in the same manner There are 130 parcels currently proposed for annexation 25 from the Village into the Town 105 from the Town into the Village Why are we annexing these parcels?: Many are split parcels Some are parcels whose driveways enter another municipality. Some are parcels receiving out of district services. There are some where parcels are proposed to be annexed to complete a service area. These annexations have been given a great amount of scrutiny to create municipal boundaries that service its residents and property owners in the most efficient and fiscally responsible manner.

3. How did the Boundary Problem Develop? The Village was established over 100 years ago. At that time, there were larger plots of land and as they were sold off and developed, some were divided by municipal borders. Some parcels have been developed at the end of a road that is serviced by another municipality, parcels were split and merged, roads were established and some extended. Other parcels have been connected to another municipality s water system. Changes to the municipal boundaries have been discussed in the past, but no action was taken. It is a huge undertaking! But the Town and Village are determined to work together to resolve the issues and develop a boundary to serve our residents effectively.
