Greenevers board seeks $2 million for sewer improvements

GREENEVERS — Concerns about increased taxes and high water bills at 150 Clinic Circle Drive led constituents to address the board during the Greenevers town board meeting on March 9.

Town Clerk Emma Brinson said that a second water line had been installed at that address by the previous owner, and the town was not aware of it. Town officials told the current resident the matter would be taken before the planning board and that they would follow up within a few weeks.

A public hearing was held for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act. The board approved an application of approximately $2 million in CDBG Infrastructure funds to design, construct and administer improvements to the town’s wastewater system, consisting of replacement of approximately 2,070 linear feet of gravity sewer infrastructure along Browns Terrace Circle and Browns Terrace Lane, and rehabilitation of the existing influent pump station and appurtenant equipment at 201 Browns Terrace Circle. More information is expected at the April meeting, as the application is due at the end of April.

The Greenevers Volunteer Fire Department asked to borrow the town’s lawn mower, saying it did not have funds to purchase its own. The board approved allowing the fire department to use their equipment as long as it helps maintain it. The board also said it would look into purchasing an additional mower as a backup.

New fencing around the community building was also discussed to help protect the building following recent break-ins. The board approved having Brinson research fencing options for possible approval at a later meeting.

Upcoming events were discussed. Ana’s Angels will host its second community Easter egg hunt at the Greenevers Community Building on April 4 from 1 to 3 p.m. The event will include games, prizes, food, an egg hunt and photos with the Easter Bunny.

Also, the Greenevers Volunteer Fire Department will celebrate its annual Firemen’s Day on April 25. The day will kick off with a parade at 10 a.m., followed by activities, raffles and plate sales. Plates will feature grilled chicken and barbecue for $10.
