Shenandoah council reduces water rationing from stage four to stage one
(Shenandoah) -- In the wake of recent rainfall, the city of Shenandoah is no longer in stage four water rationing. Meeting in regular session Tuesday evening, the Shenandoah City Council unanimously approved the city water department's recommendation to drastically reduce the water rationing efforts from stage four down to stage one, which only includes voluntary conservation. Late last year, the city jumped to stage three conservation for the first time in 23 years before increasing to stage four in November, where it had remained since due to the city's water well levels. However, in reading a letter from Water Superintendent Tim Martin, Shenandoah Mayor Roger McQueen says the move back to stage one comes after heavy rains rolled through much of the region over the past month.
Shenandoah Senior Villa ribbon cutting set Wednesday
(Shenandoah) -- What once was an dilapidated gas station is now the site of a major housing project in Shenandoah. Ribbon-cutting ceremonies take place Wednesday morning at 11:30 at the Shenandoah Senior Villa Apartment Complex at 1401 West Sheridan Avenue. Occupation of the 40-unit apartment complex for residents 55 and over took place earlier this year following the facility's completion. Shenandoah's City Council paved the way for the project's fruition by approving a development agreement with North Star LLC in December, 2022. That same month, crews demolished an old gas station standing at that location for decades. Construction began in April, 2023 after crews placed a concrete slab. Gregg Connell is executive vice president of the Shenandoah Chamber and Industry Association. In a January interview with KMA News, Connell pinpointed the beginning of the project's construction as a highlight of 2023.
