Sharpsburg is RECYCLING!

 

On June 1, 2011 the Borough of Sharpsburg will begin a recycling program.  Located in the borough parking lot, you will find a large dumpster for recyclables.  You may recycle aluminum, metals, plastics and glass bottles! NO ELECTRONICS!! As not to detract from the local organizations that collect paper (St. Juan Diego and the Sharpsburg Community Library) the borough asks that you do not recycle your paper at the borough building, but continue to use the existing receptacle.

13th Street Boat Ramp Project

Work began on the “Handicap Fishing Pier” October 14, 2011 with contractors cutting away a large part of the breaker wall. The electricity has been connected for the pier lights. In this next week the pier pilings will go in and the pier will be lifted into place and secured.

Phase II of the Sharpsburg Community Library has begun!  A Community Meeting was held at the Borough building on Monday, October 17, 2011.  There, members of Council, residents, and Library staff met with the architectural firm “Front Studios,” to talk about the community’s expectations for the library.  A power point presentation was given and copies of the presentation were handed out.  As the process has just begun, residents are to expect a minimum of two years before they will be able to enjoy a 3,000 square foot library expansion.

The Sharpsburg Community Library will have a nicely paved parking lot very soon!  Look for Victor Paving to arrive the week of October 24, 2011 to complete this project.
