• A new group, the Niles Commission for Economic Development and Neighborhood Renewal, meets for the first time Thursday at 4 p.m. Mayor Andrew Przybylo formed it to focus greater energy on local economic development.

• A Niles village ordinance prohibits parking after a one-inch or greater snowfall on certain streets, until the snowplows have come through. However, there are exceptions, as detailed in the following.

As soon as the snow falls, the Village stands ready with its snow fighting fleet and the best deicing products available. However, residents can still help us in our snow removal efforts.  The Village of Niles enforces its Snow Ordinance during times of snow fall greater than 1”.  This ordinance is in place to prevent accidents, save money, save time, and increase the efficiency of snow removal.  Please review the Village’s policies during snow emergencies.
