Military Avenue Reconstruction
| Bryan Boettcher welcomed a crowd of about seventy five people to the ribbon cutting ceremony for Military Avenue. Opening comments included the fact that during construction twelve businesses relocated to the street. Also the road construction did not play a factor in the three businesses that closed their doors this year. |
| Before cutting the ribbon Mayor Jim Schmitt thanked everyone involved with the project for working so well together to get the street done on time and under budget. Mayor Schmitt singled out the project as a model for how every road reconstruction project should be accomplished. |
| Mayor Jim Schmitt along with members of the Military Avenue Business Association cut the ribbon reopening the road to the public! |
| Alderman Brian Danzinger and Steve Deneys commended the city department of public works and businesses on working together during construction to keep the project on time and under budget. |
