WALLEN ROAD ENTRANCE

FEATURE-Pardon-My-Mess

As many know, the Wallen Road Entrance sign was hit over the summer, it has since been fixed. 

At many 2019 meetings it was brought to the boards attention that this entrance lacked color, was dull, and that bushed were dead.

We spoke with various landscaping companies to receive quotes for revamping the area and it was determined the bushes were in fact dead and nothing could be done to save them. 

The entrance is now under construction, bushes and old mulch are being removed and soon after new colorful plants will be planted.

Christmas Light’s Removal & Storage Containers

th

The deadline for removal of Christmas lights and decoration has past per the covenants for Millstone Village. While we understand we have had cold weather, we ask that anyone who still has them visible please remove them as soon as they can please.

th

Also a friendly reminder per the Fort Wayne City code – trash can and recycling cans are to be stored 10ft from the front of the house, it does not set a good precedent to have trash can and recycling cans visible.

We all wish to maintain and increase our home value so please lets keep Millstone Village looking great!

Thank you,

Millstone Village Board
