New Lisbon Celebrates Groundbreaking of Town Highway Garage

GARRATTSVILLE

To celebrate construction of a new town highway garage, the Town of New Lisbon held a ceremonial groundbreaking on Monday, April 3 on the building site at 809 County Road 16, Garrattsville. Town, county and federal officials and members of the public were among those in attendance.

The new garage will be energy efficient and provide nearly 10,000 square feet of space. It replaces the existing garage, which officials describe as “over 50 years old, in poor condition, and inadequate for today’s highway trucks and equipment.” The new building will have two sections, one for storage and another for office facilities and a service area. Construction is made possible by funding from the United States Department of Agriculture–Rural Develop-ment, with additional funding from the town and from Otsego County.
