1/29/10: The Irish Rover, the Village's new pub, is now open at 7 West Main Street. It is an excellent addition to the already great line-up of restraunts and bars found throughout the Village.
1/1/10: Prime Steakhouse. The newest eating establishment in our Village is the fruition of a dream Neil Bauman had when he lead the effort to refurbish the northeast block of Main Street. Prime Steakhouse has an exquisite decor, a vital ambiance, and delicious food. Webster has needed a high-end establishment and this restaurant fits the bill.

11/1/08: Another great Trick-or-Treat Trail. Photos coming soon.
8/16/08: Watermain Lining in Wilmorite Tract. UPDATE: 12/2/08: the watermain lining is complete. We are seeing better flows and improved water quality because of thsi project for the residents in the Wilmorite Tract. The first phase of watermain lining in the Wilmorite tract is just about completed. For many years residents in this section of the Village, where the mains are over 50 years old, have complained about brown water that appears at various times. This was caused by strong water flow from the water towers through cast iron pipes. Now with the cement lining in the mains, our residents in this section of the Village will begin to have the same clarity of water the rest of the Village has.
8/10/08 UPDATE, 7/12/08: Bauman-Utz Block Facade Improvement. Final approval is pending for the Bauman project and Village residents should begin to see some movement on this projects ("Centers at Webster") in the next few months. Village residents should see a facelift for the block of buildings on E Main St just west of the Harmony House. The old Mich Builders Building has come down (that was Phase 1) and now Phase 2 will begin with the update of facades on the block on E Main Street. This is an exciting time for our Village as the core of Main Street begins to undergo revitalization.
6/9/08: Trustee Rickard's leadership and the re-decorated Meeting Room. The window treatments are in and with just a few little details remaining, the meeting room will be completely revamped. It looks great! The vision for this was Trustee Rickard's and I complement her and thank her for her tremendous efforts in seeing this project to completion. The Village staff contributed as well in their labor. Please come in an enjoy the look of the room.

5/11/08: The Planning Board has given approval for the demolition of the building between the Harmony House and old Utz block. The building should come down within the next month. A new sign, advertising the "Centers at Webster" is already up. The next step after the demolition: new facades for the entire block.
2/11/08: The Bauman purchase and the northest quadrant. The purchase of the "Utz block" of buildings will play a critical part in Village revitalization. The transfer of this property took place about a month ago, but surrounding that announcement are other very positive signs for our Village including the purchase of the old Key bank building, the submital of plans for development of the land along State Road and the continuing development of Larry Fermusa's property on Kittleberger Park.
