NORWICH – Summer weather has arrived in Norwich, and the City Department of Public Works is planning the projects they will attempt to complete this year.
Street re-paving will begin shortly. Currently, the DPW is planning to re-pave Locust, Davis, Canal, Canasawacta and York Streets. Money for the street re-paving will be taken from the CHIPS program. Pothole repairs have started and should be completed by the end of June.
The reconstruction of Eaton Avenue is scheduled to begin any day now. “We are going to do our best to ensure that there is always access to NBT Bank. Businesses will not be interrupted any more than they have to be,” said Mayor Joseph Maiurano.
In addition to the street re-paving, the city will also be attempting to repair some of the parking lots. The city is currently working on a lease agreement with McLaughlin’s Department Store for the parking lot behind the store. Although the agreement has yet to be signed by the interested parties, a draft copy of the agreement proposes the city lease the lot for a period of 10 years. Instead of paying to make the lot open for public use, the city would be responsible for re-paving and maintaining it. The terms of the agreement are not concrete and may change before the parties sign the contract.
