On behalf of the members of our village board and staff, we hope all of you had a prosperous and healthy 2022. Here are some reminders/items for 2023.
- With the snow season, we remind residents if 2 or more inches of snow is forecast, a parking ban is in effect to aid our plow drivers in clearing the roads. No streetside or alley parking is permitted. Additionally, once a plow has gone down your street, it is against village ordinances to shovel/snow blow the snow from your driveway back into the street. If weather is a factor on the night before trash/recycling pickup, please place your cans (with wheels facing your house) on the end of your driveway instead of the street. Thank you for your cooperation.
- The LED sign located on route 91 has power, finally! The office staff will receive training on how to operate it, and the village board will approve operating policies before it goes live.
- The American flags that have been displayed throughout the village in the spring, summer, and fall will be making a comeback in 2023.
- The sidewalk project that began in 2021 will continue in 2023 on the east side of the village.
- The new 200,000-gallon water tower is in the planning stages and will be located in Central Park, adjacent to the current tower.
- Lots of community events for 2023!
- Dunlap Day at the Peoria Rivermen will be on Sunday, February 19. Puck drops at 3:15! See our Facebook page or website for a link for discounted tickets.
- Food Truck Wednesdays are scheduled for the year, and will start on April 19th.
- Dunlap Night at the Peoria Chiefs will be on Saturday, August 5th at 6:35pm.
- Dunlap Days will be in August 24-26, 2023.
- The village has renewed our garbage/recycling contract with GFL to bring lower costs to our residents. We will continue to hold bulk disposal days in the spring and fall and yard waste pickup four times a year. We have provided a magnetic pickup schedule for your convenience.
- Please support our local businesses! Our entrepreneurs offer lots of resources, goods, and services to make Dunlap a great place to live!
- We encourage all residents to view the village website and Facebook page for information about what’s happening in the village!
