City passes $4.9 million sewer plant renovation

With its grant deadline looming, the city council approved a $4,937,000 waste water treatment project as well as a street closing at the June 30 regular meeting.

Concrete barriers will soon block the intersection of West and Fourth streets to safeguard pavement that trucks continually damage, according to Mayor Bill Baker.

Other items discussed included the Yorktown Chamber of Commerce contribution and budgeting as well as an update on the clearing of dilapidated housing.
