Town Approves Emergency Fire Mitigation Contract for Claybird Lane Mulch Site, Seeks Proposals for Material Removal
The town board approved an emergency contract with Westwood Organics Recycling for fire hazard mitigation services at the Claybird Lane mulch site due to recent heat waves and dry conditions.
