Introducing a new series where we will be sharing all sorts of stats from our past and recent TIF Projects - Tax Increment Financing is a tool designed for municipalities to use the future increase (increment) in property tax revenue from new developments to fund public improvements and infrastructure within the created district. Check out the two TIF Projects we've had here in Lennox so far.
One year ago today, Mrs. Kranz joined our team. Thanks for all that you do

Lennox Residents,
With severe cold temperatures are forecast for our area in the coming days, the City of Lennox urges everyone to take precautions to protect your homes. Wind chills will drop well below zero, increasing the risk of frozen pipes, which can lead to costly bursts and water damage. Please consider taking the following precautions:
Keep your home warm: Set your thermostat to at least 55°F, even if you're away. Maintain consistent heat day and night to avoid cold spots.
Let faucets drip: Allow a slow trickle of cold water from faucets farthest from your main water valve or on exterior walls.
Open cabinet doors: Under sinks in kitchens and bathrooms, especially on outer walls, to let warm air circulate around the pipes.
Insulate exposed pipes: Wrap pipes in unheated areas like basements, attics, or garages with foam sleeves, insulation, or heat tape/heat cable. Ensure any heat tape is plugged in and functioning properly.
Seal drafts: Close garage doors if pipes run through them. Use plastic wrap on drafty windows, seal gaps in basements or crawl spaces, and ensure crawl space panels are secure.
Outdoor preparations: Disconnect, drain, and store garden hoses. Shut off and drain outdoor faucets, and consider adding insulated covers.
Know your shut-off valves: Locate your main water shut-off valve now, in case of an emergency.
If your pipes do freeze, do not use open flames to thaw them, call a professional plumber. Contact City Hall at (605) 647-2286 (for after hours emergencies only call 605-366-4705) or visit our website for updates.
