An Every-So-Often Town Update

 

Completed Projects


  • The Park in the Northeast Community is installed with little ones enjoying every inch of it! We also replaced the swings and basketball rims.
  • The paving project on Jefferson is complete. We installed new water and sewer connections for 13 properties, added a new fire hydrant, and paved it to VDOT standards.

In Limbo of Halfwayness


Whenever you take on a batch of projects at once, there is a time when you don't see progress. Here is a list of those projects with little updates:

  • Police Department and Welcome Center (brick building next to Bakery): Went out to bid with 12/15 sealed bid opening.
  • Dredging under floating docks: Need to prepare spill site, then go to bid.
  • Town Square rehab.: Gazebo scraped and painted, plants removed, we are selecting new light fixtures, and the Tree Board will select new plants, and make sidewalk repairs.
  • Northeast Revitalization Grant: 2 of the 6 houses have been demolished, the new sidewalks are in the design phase, and increased street light wattage is underway, we are requesting additional funds from the state to complete everything in the original plan.
  • Lights and Signs: The design project for the Streetlights, Street Signs, and Wayfinding signs is mostly complete and ready for fixture selection. The Town Council will discuss at its next meeting (11/27).
  • New Town Website: Design complete, halfway through content. If you would like something on the new site that would be helpful to you, email me!
  • What about the ... ? If you have a question about what's going on, or not going on, email me!

Holiday Decorations


Starting at the end of the second week of November, we start to transform Onancock into the magical holiday town we have come to love.


Invite your family and friends to visit!
