South Trade Street (2MB) - Engineering Phase is almost complete. In Fall 2010 the Town Board will discuss pursuing the widening of this roadway. This would involve issuing bonds that would result in a 2 cent property tax increase to pay for the project. If approved right-of-ways would be purchased, permits obtained, bids would be let and construction would begin. The project is expected take one year to complete. Map of Project
