Councilor Contemplations – August & September 2025

by Sara Bollinger – Manlius Town Councilor

Highway Additions Project

Construction has begun on the new Highway Maintenance Garage and office addition.  Just like the cold storage shed built last year, this investment will help to protect and preserve the expensive trucks and equipment that are required for the Highway Department to keep the roads in the Town of Manlius safe.  The project includes updated locker rooms and a training room for the Highway Department workers.  The facility will be ADA accessible and includes some flood mitigation strategies.
