🚧 Our Public Works Department has been hard at work preparing for upcoming road improvements! Over the past few weeks, the crew has produced nearly 500 tons of stabilized gravel. These improvements are an important step in protecting and strengthening our asphalt edges to help maintain safer, longer-lasting roads throughout the Township.

We’ll be sharing more photos as the work progresses — stay tuned!
