Norwalk Route 250 Repaving Delayed by State Budget Action
The Route 250 repaving through Norwalk is shelved this summer as the State Department of Highways refunds 17 000 dollars and plans to resume when funds allow.

The estimated 44 000 dollar cost included municipal funds. In Akron, Calvary United Methodist Church was destroyed by fire with no injuries reported and a cause is under investigation.
