The Village of Libertyville recently awarded Geary Electric Inc. a contract to maintain and repair all streetlights in the village.
During the May 24 board meeting, trustees voted unanimously (6-0) t0 award the 2011-12 fiscal year bid to Geary Electric in the amount of $48,936; a cost estimate based on services performed last fiscal year.
