Paving Frenzy
Social Media is abuzz with residents wanting to know when their streets will be paved. Those streets left out this year will disappoint some. However, it is noted that during the past couple of years, Mayor Nicholson has prioritized paving and has successfully sought a greater percentage of funds for paving than at any time in the past decade. Part of the problem has been that State funding which is relied upon as an additional source has remained at about $600,000 in recent years which with the high cost of asphalt due to inflation doesn’t buy much.
