During the recent meeting on April 2, the Loretto Board of Aldermen took significant actions to address various issues within the community. One of the key decisions made was the approval of a budget amendment aimed at covering the expenses related to repairing the library building. The building had suffered damage due to a tree limb falling on it.
In a proactive move to enhance the city’s infrastructure, the Aldermen also voted to seek over $700,000 in funds from the Community Development Block Grant. These funds are intended to facilitate upgrades to the city’s water treatment plant, ensuring a more efficient and reliable water supply for residents.
Additionally, the Aldermen were briefed on the progress of ongoing projects, including the development of walking trails and pavilions in the area. These initiatives are aimed at promoting outdoor activities and enhancing community spaces for residents to enjoy.
Furthermore, the meeting saw the introduction of two new firefighters who have recently joined the ranks of the Loretto Fire Department. Their addition to the team will bolster the department’s capabilities and further strengthen the community’s emergency response services.
Overall, the meeting highlighted the Aldermen’s commitment to addressing various aspects of community development and public safety, showcasing their dedication to improving the quality of life for Loretto residents.
