New Castle caucus schedules July hearings, refers demolition and curb-ramp contracts for Thursday review
Summary
The New Castle caucus scheduled conditional-use public hearings for July 20 for applications including Randy Shaffer (539 S.

The caucus did not take final action on the contracts; the demolition contract was referred to the administration for recommendation.
