NOTICE...
The Village of Concord Council supported a trial reopening of the Village Office to the public with certain parameters expected to be completed by the State of Michigan such as visitors wearing a mask while inside and visitors filling out a short survey to conduct business within our Offices. Due to multiple instances of negative visitor feedback on having to wear a mask inside our offices and an unwillingness to fill out the short survey the Village Offices will be closed once again and business will return to be conducted via the Villages Drop Box, Mail, Online Payment System, Phone and Email. We understand our closing may be inconvenient to some and we sincerely apologize but we also must do what is in the best interest of protecting our employees. If you’re concerned you are unable to have your business needs met using the aforementioned means please feel free to call our Office (517-524-8534) or send an Email (office@villageofconcord.com) and we will attempt to accommodate you through a face to face meeting by a Village Representative within our office, please note that to attend this meeting you will be expected to wear a mask at all times within the office and to fill out a short survey. Thank you for your patience in these unique times and we hope to be back to conducting business as normal in the near future.

Statement from Village President Jeremiah Bush
When I went to vote in the primary election this afternoon I was bombarded with there had been many complaints about the lack of planning with the location of where the construction was occurring on the Village’s water main replacement project and the location of where the election was occurring. My response was, “It is what it is, it has to be done.” You will likely hear this response often and some weren’t happy with it today and there will likely be people not happy with it in the future. To further clarify, this water main project is a once in a generation project, huge in scope and monetarily, there was no planning for this primary election, we are going to make mistakes. We started where we felt there would be the least amount of roads torn up during the winter months so there wouldn’t be muddy and rutted roads from the snow all winter, thus Homer Rd as we were able to use land along the road to place the water main. Then onto the adjacent streets of Spring St. and W. Center St. our worst street. People asked why didn’t we take the day off from construction? Everyday we take off is one day longer this project takes, cost as a result could rise, and a Covid19 outbreak could occur shutting down our project. The work must go on as we are trying to complete this project as fast as possible to limit inconvenience and save on costs to our residents. Sorry there were inconvenienced individuals but in the long run look on the bright side we could have waited until Fall 2020 to complete this section of the project and we would be dealing with this inconvenience when we are electing our next president.
Village of Concord Residents –
The USDA Water Main Replacement project has begun.
During the project you may experience low water pressure, no water, water discoloration, etc.
This is normal and there is no need to call the office.
Thank you.
