Stormwater pond gets $100,000 improvement and Council agrees to fund Community Services

Public Works Director Dave Bennett laid out a few options for funding for the Grant Park stormwater pond improvements to Northfield Council this week.  Mayor Graham explained that one choice was $100,000 to provide a buffer zone with tall grasses to help keep the pond cleaner.  The other was $400,000 which would include the buffer zone and a thorough cleaning.  Bennett said council could wait till 2019 for the larger expenditure.  That would allow time for the stormwater fund to build back up.  Council approved $100,000.   [Read more…] about Today’s news update – Stormwater pond gets $100,000 improvement and Council agrees to fund Community Services; Northfield selected to test new bike sensors; Summertime means bike safety
