New mayors
Auburn and Butler began the year with new mayors â Mike Ley and Mike Hartman â respectively.
Ley plunged into new projects such as a sidewalk replacement program that provided free labor to pour new walks for 21 homeowners in its first two months. The project is poised to grow next year, offering savings of up to 75%.
Butler made substantial progress in the long-awaited cleanup of the Butler Co. buildings that were destroyed in a March 2015 arson fire. Work at the property on South Broadway began in earnest Oct. 19.
