EARLVILLE – The period of permissive referendum has officially begun for a capital project that is being proposed in the Village of Earlville.

During last Wednesday night’s board meeting, village officials unanimously passed a resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds for a capital water improvement project pending a period of permissive referendum.

Revised figures show that the water system project will cost approximately $3.49 million. An increase over the previously released total of $3.09 million.
