Martinsville Public Works provides Project Update Posted by DigitalDominion (1037)
From the City of Martinsville Email newsletter - May 4, 2007:

PUBLIC WORKS
Public Works held a pre-construction meeting with representatives of Joyce Engineering and Shamrock Environmental regarding the landfill closure construction project. Engineering personnel are continuing
to work with VDOT, Schwartz & Associates, and Norfolk Southern regarding the Starling Avenue bridge project.

The Municipal Building security project is scheduled for completion by June 1, and Leon Towarnicki is working on a building parking plan as part of the security project.

Public Works finished up installation of new lights, painting, and floor cleaning in the former Leisure Services area in the basement of the Municipal Building, paving the way for the Commonwealth’s
Attorney to expand office space.

Work continues to assist with renovations at Druid Hills School for the relocated Leisure Services office. Stairs have been installed at the end of Pine Street to access the Rails to Trails project. Public Works has coordinated efforts with the EDC regarding new City entrance signs. Over the next few weeks, Public Works and Communications will work to replace the current light fixtures in Council Chambers with new, high-efficiency lights that help render better color for television broadcast applications.
