#484 – LETTER FROM MAYOR REGARDING DONATION FROM AGGREGATE INDUSTRIES
The following letter by the Mayor was adopted.
September 10, 2009
Honorable Salem City Council
Salem City Hall
Salem, MA 01970
Re: Aggregate Industries, Inc. Serve the Community
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council:
Once again this year, Aggregate Industries, Inc. has engaged in community service projects that have greatly benefitted the City.
As you may have notices, the Blaney Street Ferry Landing was in desperate need of attention and repair. The parking lot was filled with large divots and potholes making it difficult for vehicles and pedestrians to safely navigate the site. Due to its deteriorating condition, the lot was also collecting large amounts of water after heavy rain. At Salem Willows Park, the access road utilized by City vehicles was also in disrepair with deep tire tracks and an extremely uneven surface. It also was unsightly and unusable during stormy conditions.
Last month, Aggregate Industries, Inc. made available a road grader to help create a flat surface at the Blaney Street parking lot. An Aggregate employee operated this piece of equipment during a two-day period. During this same time, work was performed on the access road at Salem Willows as well. In all, 200 tons of lynn pac material was donated free of charge to the City.
Aggregate Industries, Inc. ought to be recognized for their continued generosity and commitment to the City of Salem. We have greatly benefitted from it.
Very truly yours,
Kimberley Driscoll
