Clintonville Alderperson Mary-Beth Kuester will hold listening sessions at 7 p.m. March 12 and 2 p.m. March 14 at City Hall, 35 S. Clinton Ave.
“This will be an opportunity for residents to share ideas, ask questions and find out about ongoing issues in our city,” Kuester said.
The sessions are planned for residents of District 4. Other people may attend, Kuester said, but priority will be given to district residents to speak and ask questions.
Kuester noted that the city faces several important issues, including electric rates, a major upgrade in city sewer and water system, and ways to deal with the $150,000 budget deficit, which was filled temporarily by moving money from the city surplus fund.
Kuester said the committees she works on are looking into a city garbage collection service and billboards to encourage business for the city during the Main Street reconstruction project.
“I also look forward to reporting progress on the search for another grocery store and the work on the city housing special committee looking into needs to upgrade housing for workers in the industrial park and condominiums to keep retirees in the community,” she said.
