As a huge orange excavator lifted a goal post-like steel frame high in the air behind them, Mayor Tom Henry and other city officials Monday afternoon touted more than $90 million in local infrastructure investments for 2021.
A news conference took place behind the Third Street pump station, where work is continuing to assure the separation of wastewater from stormwater from several north-side neighborhoods.
Henry said he wanted to use the event to point out the necessary infrastructure that few people ever see – the part that s underground.
