City of Ferndale Invites Residents to Public Works Week Open House
The City of Ferndale is inviting residents interested in City water supply softening, various road projects and future improvement project plans to an open house Thursday, May 23.
The open house is part of National Public Works Week, scheduled for May 19 to 25 this year. It takes place from 5 to 7 p.m. at WECU’s Conference Room, 5659 Barrett Rd.
As part of the open house, the public will also have an opportunity to comment on the City’s 6-Year Transportation Improvement Program, a list of transportation-related projects that are prioritized by the City Council after public comment and staff review. While there is no official presentation related to the program, information will be on hand about it and staff will be available for questions.
Community members will also learn information about the City’s Capital Improvement Program work on its water, sewer and stormwater utilities, learn the latest news on the City’s water softening project and get updates on major street improvement projects on Thornton Street, Vista Drive and Church Road.
City staff will be available for questions and free food and drinks will be provided.
