JeweThief Targets Affton Area

 

Officer Mike Tomachek reported at the December 20 meeting of the Grantwood Village Board of Trustees that burglaries in the County are increasing with the holiday season and she urged residents to be extra vigilant in order to ensure a safe holiday season.

He reported that one particular burglar who seems to be especially professional in his ability to steal jewelry has been stealing from homes in the Affton area.

   Neighborhood Watch Coordinator Genny Webelhuth made a presentation in which she shared information from a recent St. Louis County Community Policing Seminar. Webelhuth suggested unique Christmas gifts that could help to secure safety in the home and  said “a few simple steps and a little bit of money you can make your home secure and help you sleep at night.”

For more information visit the County Police Guide to Home Safety or contact your Neighborhood Watch team listed on our Neighborhood Watch Page.

Village Seeks Grant to Improve Grant Road Area

 

Village Clerk Pat Williams told residents at the December 20 meeting of the Grantwood Village Board of Trustees that she and other board members had worked with Tim Goode and Andy Elmore from Grant’s Farm to submit an application for federal funding for improvements along Grant Road. If approved, the grant, administered through the Missouri Department of Transportation would provide $49,500 that would be used to pave a graveled pull-off area which is often used by motorists as a turnaround or pull off; remove a similar area; pay for solar lighting that would be placed along the roadway to clarify curves in the road and provide a sign that would direct drivers to Grant’s Farm and Ulysses S. Grant (Whitehaven) National Park and welcome visitors to the Village.

Gets New Signs


  New signs were erected throughout the Village on Friday, December 16. The new signs were designed and produced by Engraphix which is owned and operated by Village residents Ed and Sherri Brimer.  The signs contain a great deal of information and are wide enough to contain the Village's name on one line.
