Sidewalk project to close for year in Nelsonville
Nelsonville residents have one week left to apply for WPA sidewalk work. Service Director F G Kourl said many applications so far fall short of the minimum 4,000 square feet, and at least double that size is needed for favorable action. Citizens should contact City Hall before week’s end to potentially enlarge the project.
