Mburgh Village Streets to be Paved

MIDDLEBURGH - Wells Avenue and Straub Lane will be paved this summer, Middleburgh village officials agreed at a special meeting earlier this month.

Board members unanimously voted at their June 12 special board meeting to approve improvements to Wells Avenue and Straub Lane. DPW Superintendent Cole Keyser presented the Board with four options, and ultimately two were chosen due to budget constraints.

Substantial work will be done on both Village streets, as Wells Avenue will be both milled and paved while Straub Lane will only be repaved. The DPW will communicate with residents for when road construction is scheduled later this summer.

Between cost of materials and labor, the estimated cost of road improvements to Straub Lane and Wells Avenue will be approximately $53,731. All funds are being paid out of the Village’s allotment of CHIPS funds. 

The Board is tentatively planning to make improvements to Scribner Avenue and Sheldon Avenue next year.
