The section of streets to be repaved include Pear Street from 3rd to 4th; Mulberry Street from 9th to 10th; 4th Street from Market to Mulberry; and Jaquess from Market to Chestnut. The work will cost just over $52,000 and will be paid out of motor fuel tax funds according to street commissioner Tom Meeks.
