Wacker Road Construction Project

The City of Savanna Wacker Road Project began last week on June 17, 2019. A few updates for our Carroll County Housing Authority (CCHA) tenants residing in our Carroll Apartments, and Maple Lane units are as follows (as well as, see attachment):

DRIVEWAY ACCESS: Tenants will be able to access the CCHA parking lots during most of the construction. In the event that the parking lots are not accessible for an extended period of time, the CCHA will notify tenants in advance.
MAIL SERVICE: Mail will be delivered as usual. However, for our Carroll Apartments tenants, the mailboxes will be moved sometime during the construction. This move will be permanent. Tenants will be notified with an exact date in the near future. EMERGENCY SERVICES: Emergency Services will be accommodated at all times.
TRAFFIC CONTROL: Be courteous, obey all traffic control and work zone speed limits.
