Construction and Community Events Highlight Sunbury City Council Meeting

The Sunbury City Council meeting on September 18 brought exciting updates on local construction projects and community events. Key among the discussions was the anticipated start of renovations on the lower level of the Municipal Building, set to begin on October 6. Council members noted that contractors have already begun refreshing the landscape around the building, aiming to enhance its visual appeal while preserving existing trees and foundation plantings.

In addition to construction updates, the council announced a special event at the Sunbury Farmers' Market this Saturday. The market will host a "Young Makers and Family Market Day," inviting young entrepreneurs, dubbed "kidpreneurs," to showcase and sell their handmade products. The event promises a lively atmosphere with activities including family stretching and yoga, martial arts demonstrations, a mini dance class, music sessions, and story time, all taking place during the regular farmers' market hours.

Further updates included the Columbus Street parking lot project, which is set to commence on September 24. This project will add 26 new parking stalls, addressing anticipated parking challenges due to ongoing renovations at the Municipal Building. However, delays in the installation of decorative lighting poles may push completion into the new year.

As construction progresses, residents are encouraged to stay informed about the developments that will enhance both the infrastructure and community spirit in Sunbury.
