Welcome To The Town Of Buffalo

      With Summer over and a new season beginning, I need to update you about the park improvement project. Two parts of the improvement plan have been completed: replacement of the park water filter system and installation of a new drinking fountain and bottle filler.  A third part of the plan, recognition and memorial signage, is complete except for determining a dedication date for placement of the signage.  Playground equipment needs have been assessed and will be initated after the existing sand base has been removed and replaced. A bid to do that part of the project has been accepted.  Weather (rain/soft ground) has been an issue but conditions should improve in the next few weeks. The old drinking fountain also needs to be removed.

SPECIAL NOTE:  This may be the last narrative that appears in this website as the town has received word that the cost of the website has been raised by 300%!  This cost is prohibitive so we are seeking assistance in developing a new website.

NOTICE:  The two broadband forums were attended by a total of 95 residents some of whom were from Ft City.  We appreciate all who attended and contributed to the opportunity to receive information about the broadband project and ask questions about it.

The next step of the project is the on-going site visits by CCTC engineers as they seek to "map" all locations for appropriate  "drop" of the fiber optic cable.
