bon cutting, courtesy of

The city o f Boardman will be hosting a ribbon
cutting ceremony for their newly completed roadway,
curb, and sidewalk project on South Main Street. The
project cost $288,000, with $94,000 coming from a
Federal Stimulus grant administered through the Oregon
Department o f Transportation (ODOT).
Working in conjunction with ODOT’s overpass
resurfacing project on Main Street, it took the city’s
contractor, Crestline Construction, just under a month to
complete. Public Works Director Dave Winters said he
was pleased with how quickly the project was completed
and believes South Main Street is far safer than before.
Ceremonies begin at 11 a.m. on Friday, July 23,
at the Sam Boardman Gazebo Park on S.E. Front Street.
The community is invited to attend and, afterwards, stay
and enjoy lunch at Judy’s Chuckwagon.
