Posted on September 27th, 2023
The EPA has finished cleaning a majority of the catch basins surrounding the severely damaged Tissue Plant warehouse. With the completion of this task, the City has reopened Taylor Street to non-commercial traffic. This will allow residents and visitors another avenue to traverse the city and access businesses adjacent to the fire site.
The City wants to thank the Main Street/DDA for adding “Downtown is Open for Business – Parking Available on Main Street” signs throughout the community. In addition, the City encourages the community to visit our local businesses throughout this ordeal to show your support and to assist them by your patronage.
For more detailed information on the fire, please go to the City’s website and listen to Fire Chief Daily’s presentation and the question/answer session afterwards. To avoid listening to what is a long Council meeting, you can fast forward to 5.25 minutes into the recording.

Fall Clean Up
Posted on September 18th, 2023
Starting on October 23 and ending November 3, 2023, the City’s Street Department will provide free pick-up service for yard rakings, brush, and small tree limbs (hereafter debris). After November 3, 2023 no debris is permitted to be placed at the edge of the streets. Debris must not be placed out for pick up before October 21, 2023.
Debris must be at the edge of the street, not in ditches or on grassy areas. We ask your cooperation in separating your leaves into one pile and your brush & small tree limbs into another to facilitate pickup. If the items are not separated, the City cannot guarantee their pick-up. The City cannot and will not accept garbage, household trash, appliances of any type, tin, metal or items too heavy for one man to lift.
GRASS OR LEAVES IN PLASTIC BAGS WILL NOT BE PICKED UP!
North End of Main St Open
Posted on September 18th, 2023
The north end of Main Street (including the intersection of Main Street and State Street) is now open to normal vehicle traffic. Larger vehicles, such as semis, tractor trailers and dump trucks, are still being asked to take the established detour to move through the area, as the portion of Main Street near Tissue Depot remains closed.
