Plainfield Board to Meet to Discuss Salt Purchase

Despite the fact that Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, fall doesn’t actually begin until Sept. 22.

But after a rough winter that ate up road salt at a record pace, the Village of Plainfield is preparing for cold weather.

A special village board meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday to discuss the purchase of road salt.

On the agenda is a proposal to purchase 3,000 tons of bulk road salt from Midwest Salt of Batavia for $321,600.

According to the agenda, trustees Jim Racich and Dan Rippy have requested to attend the meeting electronically.

You can watch the meeting on the village’s YouTube channel.
