Trustees praise water plant projects coming in under budget; announce Main Street events and new businesses
Summary
Trustees congratulated staff and contractors on water plant projects that trustees said were near completion and under budget. The board also announced upcoming Main Street community events and welcomed new downtown businesses.
Trustees used the Jan. 14 meeting to thank staff and contractors for near-completion of major water-plant projects and noted the work came in under budget; no specific dollar amounts were provided during the meeting.
Trustee Daley specifically praised public works staff and partner firms (named in the meeting packet and remarks) for delivering water projects that trustees said will provide resilient service for the next 20 to 25 years. Trustees acknowledged that water rates have been difficult recently but said the projects strengthen the town’s long-term infrastructure.
Daley and other trustees also highlighted community events and new businesses: an upcoming Mingo & Main celebration on Main Street that will include a Chinese/Vietnamese New Year observance (listed as 4 to 8 p.m.), and a planned St. Patrick’s Day parade and festival on March 15. Trustees encouraged residents to visit new local businesses including Little Monsters (an indoor playground in Wellington Business Park) and the revived Soul Square Brewing downtown; no financial incentives or town support for the businesses were announced at the meeting.
These items were reported as board updates; no formal actions or budget votes related to the water projects or events were taken at this meeting.
