work will begin on the second box culvert, north of Spruce. At
that time, the full closure of Gordon Drive will be extended
north to a location just south of Ramblewood. A detour for

Hurstbourne Lane for the entire duration of the project. The
anticipated completion date for the entire project is on or
around August 30, 2010. (From April 22, 2010 edition)

monies are raised, the fireworks display will be held on
Saturday, July 3, or Sunday, July 4. Local businesses, civic
organizations and individuals are being asked to donate
what they can to help.
