Councilwoman: Howell road crews kept working through pandemic
HOWELL – Councilwoman Evelyn O’Donnell said Howell’s government is moving forward despite the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic during the past year.
O’Donnell said, “although the pandemic is a horrible thing, our local government still moves forward and it is important that residents are aware that in fact, their local government is still working for them.
Speaking during a Jan. 26 Township Council meeting, she said, “At a (previous) meeting it was said that COVID had sort of restricted some of the things being done with the roads.
“I am happy to say that information might have been misleading to the public because while COVID happened last year, we actually paved more than 36 miles of roads, which was more than had been done in maybe eight to 10 years, or maybe 12 years, but I do not want to go that far,” O’Donnell said.
