I had to double check the calendar today to make sure it was not April 5^th instead of March 5^th!  They say March comes in like a lamb and out like a lion, so who knows how long this spring-like weather will continue.  I do know that we’ll enjoy it while we can!

For the latest West Branch weather forecast, please visit www.weather.com/local/48661.

Work continues on our MDNRE land trust fund grant application for construction of an additional phase of our Rivertrail system.  A public hearing is scheduled for our March 15^th Council meeting to go over the application and to receive public input regarding the grant and project. 

 With our water project completed, we continue focus on our Wastewater Treatment Plant project and sewer main relining and repair project.  The excellent weather has allowed progress to continue through the winter months.  New pictures will be added to this website on Monday. 

 City Council recently approved the sale of a lot in the Industrial Park West development to Suthern Adult Care.  A new adult foster care facility is being planned for start of construction this year.  We look forward to start and completion of this new facility for our City and the new jobs it will bring to our community.

 Our new Chamber of Commerce Director, Christie Blackford, started work this week.  We wish Christie well in  her new job and look forward to working with her on many projects to promote West Branch.
