With near-recordbreaking snowfalls, the warm weather is melting the snowpack
quite quickly, and with that will come increased river flows. The city and the county
have resources available to help homeowners who are at increased flood risk, so
please contact them with questions!
Springtime also means development and maintenance! In terms of development,
there are a host of projects in various stages of the planning process which
might break ground this summer, some of which include a couple of hotels on
the east end, a multifamily development on Weiss Drive, The Amble up at the
Mountain, a Housing Authority multifamily development mid-town, and several
multifamily developments on the west-end of town. On the maintenance front,
our hardworking snowplows took a toll on our roads this winter; maintenance and
repair work will begin on May 15, and hopefully be wrapping up by the end of June.
