ESCANABA This winter’s lack of snow has helped budgets on both city and county levels.
Gladstone Director of Public Works Barry Lund estimated the cost of clearing 4 inches of snow to be approximately $10,000. Last winter the total cost of snow removal in Gladstone was $154,800. Though December 2020 numbers aren’t in yet, Lund estimated that so far the expense has only been about $15,000. He said excess money goes back into the fund balance and can be used for paving. In addition, less snow saves Gladstone money because his employees can work on other projects without the city having to pay for outside help.
