CLEAN UP ON ST. JOHN ROAD

A sincere thank you to Amy Feltman and Elaine Perry for volunteering their time and materials to clean up trash on St. John Road. Though this is an ongoing problem, it seems to have diminished some. Nuisance problems should be reported to the Jefferson County Department of Health.
