SALEM The city is planning a street paving project this summer with an estimated $1.2 million cost, hitting a large number of streets and alleys that need attention.
“Everyone living on these streets will benefit from the paving,” Mayor John Berlin said.
The cost will be covered by the additional .25 percent income tax approved again by voters in 2019 for another five years. He said it’s “quite exciting” to continue with more paving thanks to the voters.
