…and anyone else who was part of this project. I’m just mentioning Heidi Hamilton, Director of Public Works, and Joel Walinski, Director of Operations, because I know, in the big picture, this is part of their “portfolio” of responsibilities.

Too often we only give recognition to the high profile and high buck projects. Much of what contributes to our quality of life, downtown or throughout the community, is an almost invisible and routine operation.

Over the past few weeks, City of Northfield workers have been systematically cleaning up the trees that are part of the downtown streetscape. Come spring, just around the corner, their work will produce both healthier trees and greater visibility of buildings, shops and signs.

…all of which will make modest but important contributions to the economic vitality of downtown.

Thanks again.
