Morning Everyone;

Wanted to give you what will be my final update on High St. renovation project. The final bricks were laid on Monday with a curing period of 7 days; yesterday the contractor did the blacktop tie in’s from the existing streets to the new brick street with the final lane shift to accommodate this work. In consideration of this High St. will be fully opened on Monday June 24th, to normal two way traffic and parking.

I would like to thank George Hyde and his staff especially Ed Phillips who has been our project inspector on site daily to ensure we finished with a quality product. Through the efforts of the contractor Dave A. Bramble, Ed Phillips, and George, I feel they have done an exceptional job to make sure we maintained the historic integrity that High St. has always presented, traffic patterns where such to minimize the impact on the local business, and citizens. We would like to thank MUC for their efforts in changing over the water services to the facilities throughout the route from the old main to the new main once the water main was installed and certified.

We would like to thank Council for your support during this venture, and funding of the project. With everyone’s efforts especially the patience of the local business, and our citizens, I hope they will enjoy and appreciate the renovations with opening of the 300 Block of High St. on Monday June 24th .

Thank you.
