Milton Town Council Meeting

by Jenny Pugh
    Milton Town Council met Tuesday, September 8, 2009, at the Milton Christian Church, with a large crowd present.
    The short council meeting began with a public hearing. Renee Doty, of the EDC, presented an updated resolu-tion concerning the grant application for the wastewater project. Resolution was passed and the town should learn if and how much funding they will receive for the project in October.
    Mike Myers, project engineer, updated council members on the wastewater project. The surveyors have already been in Milton and 90% of the design work is done. Plans will be submitted for approval within the next few weeks. Once the project is funded and approved, the next step will be meeting with the necessary property owners concerning easements.

Another Successful Canal Days

By Janis Buhl
    We have just finished another successful Canal Days ending our 37th year of having this festival. Mark your calendars for next year (2010) as it will be the weekend following Labor Day as it has always been in the past.

    With the economy in a slump and so many out of work, we were blessed with many folks coming, spending, enjoying their time in Cambridge City. The parade was great and so were the spectators, cheering those in the parade.

    We will put pictures in this week, and probably more next issue as we can’t get nearly all of them in. Thanks to Dr. Bertsch who helps take pictures each year. A tremendous thanks to Silvia Bowman-Hamilton and those in the Chamber for all their work in planning the event. For more of this story please subscribe!
