Summer weather is back!   Daytime temperatures back in the 80’s with plenty of sunshine will provide for great weather to enjoy the last week of summer heading into Labor Day weekend next weekend.  For the latest West Branch weather forecast, please visit www.weather.com/local/48661.

The City’s paving contractor is making progress surfacing the edge of S. 7^th and S.8^th streets.  This will make it much easier for property owners to get into their driveways.  The City will also be paving the alley adjacent to the N. 2^nd street parking lot.

 Work on the new Airport terminal building is starting.  The contractor will be taking down the existing terminal building, leaving in place the basement, and then rebuilding a new building over the top.  The goal is to have the project completed near the end of this year.  The building is much needed and will hopefully lead to increased use of the airport.

 The DPW crew has been working on weed control in curbs and gutters along local streets.  Although the growth of grass has slowed down, weeds keep on growing.  The flowers along Houghton Avenue continue to prosper and look great!

Fabulous Fridays continue today with “Heroes in Uniform.”  Another successful Fabulous Fridays season concludes with “Big Boys and Their Toys” next Friday.

Crowds downtown have been great for these great events sponsored by the Downtown Retail Merchants committee.

 Work continues at the WWTP site.  The concrete exterior of buildings is being completed.  Underground utility work connecting these buildings to the plant is going strong.  Photos showing progress at the site can be viewed at this website.

As always, any concerns are welcomed at tyouatt@westbranch.com.  Enjoy the great summer weather this weekend!
