The seven trees along West First Street were dying and needed to be cut down, the DPW commissioner explained. He said within two weeks, new trees will be planted to replace them. Tree steward June MacAuthur said she hopes any new trees the city plants are conducive to this area.
Senator Darrel Aubertine was at the Common Council meeting Monday night to present the city with a $1,024,000 grant. The senator recognized the needs of the city’s DPW and these funds “will go a long way to provide the necessary resources the DPW needs,” Mayor Randy Bateman said.
