Three cheers for Public Works!
You know who's sick of snow? Our Public Works department! They've been out plowing eight out of the past ten days, dealing with approximately 14 inches of snow and a cumulative inch of rain. Their tireless work has ensured that our community streets were clear and our drivers were as safe as possible. Thank you Public Works!
