For the first time since 2005, Elm Grove could have a new village president.
Neil Palmer, who has been in that position for 16 years, will face off against former village trustee Mary Inden on April 6.
The winner will serve a two-year term and will watch over a community of 6,136 that was recently ranked as the second-best place to live in Wisconsin by Niche.
The candidates for village president shared their views on how they d preserve Elm Grove s small-town charm. Palmer and Inden differ on their views of the village s downtown master plan.
That plan calls for an extension of Elm Grove Road, improvements to Underwood Creek, added redevelopment to the Reinder’s property and Elm Grove Park and Shop and creating more parking and public spaces, among many other updates.
