SUMMER COOLING STATION!!

The primary concern of the Village of Kent City is health and safety of our residents. Beginning this year, we are opening our doors to Village residents to offer a place to cool down on Ozone Action Days. Feel free to come to the Village office during business hours on any Ozone Action Day. We are offering our board room to give you a place to sit, relax and cool off. We have books, board games, cards and free Wi-Fi available to you. All pets must be caged within the building.
