Lost Superior Store

A new exhibition at the Superior Community Center (1500 Coalton Road) will be installed just in time for the Labor Day holiday weekend!

The Historical Commission, one of Superior’s seven volunteer advisory committees, is presenting a series of black & white historic photographs depicting life in the Town of Superior during the coal mining era.

The exhibit is slated to be on display from August 31 through the end of the year.


Before and After Sculpture cleaning

Bronze Sculptures Sparkle and Shine!

All 12 of the bronze sculptures within the Town’s public art collection were recently cleaned and waxed and WOW do they ever look great!

The maintenance process for bronze sculptures involves power washing, heating the surface with a blow torch, and applying tinted wax. Such maintenance is the most effective treatment to halt corrosion and provide protection from the elements.

Next time you are on a walk around the Town, make sure to stop by and take a closer look!


Field

Final Landscaping Efforts Continue in Downtown Superior Park.

The new athletic field in Downtown Superior will remain closed until the sod has had time to establish proper root depth. PROS Staff are are anticipating potential use of this field in late 2022, and will continue to monitor the sod health to pin-point a more specific opening date. Residents can find the Sports Complex Permit Application on our website to reserve field use at any of the Town fields.
