VILLAGE NEWS
Board approves public works projects Village to get 21 new light poles as part of multi-phase program BY MARNEY SIMON Enterprise Staff @plainfieldnews sweditor@enterprisepublications.com
Things are about to get brighter in Plainfield. In July, the village board approved the purchase of 21 new concrete street light poles, part of a multi-phase program to replace light poles that are aging, damaged, or deteriorating. The village obtained quotes for the new poles through the U.S. Communities Procurement program. The organization mirrors the state’s purchasing program, the South Suburban Mayors and Manager purchasing program, and the Tree Consortium. The groups each allow multiple municipalities to participate, which strengthen its negotiating power for supplies SEE PROJECTS PAGE 13
