Road to Repair: Town Release Streets To Be Fixed
Due to delays, two years worth of street repairs will get underway beginning this year.
If you live on Creeley Road, you've hit the road jackpot.
Creeley and its cross streets of Flett Road and Francis Street will be some of the first roads that will be reconstructed by the town as long-awaited repairs to town streets has been announced this week.

Last year, the town allocated $1.8 million and $1.2 million this year in pavement management.
