Town of Bow Street Sweeper

New Town Street Sweeper


The Town purchased a used sweeper from Audley Construction in early Spring. The sweeper has been through the first round of clearing sand on Town roads and parking lots and the work was performed much earlier in the year than it has been in past years. 



Town of Bow Evans Cemetery

Trees Planted at Evans Cemetery


The Town has received a donation of 10 mature trees from a former Bow resident. The new trees were planted at the beginning of June in the "new" expanded area at  Evans Cemetery on White Rock Hill Road. The trees are a beautiful addition to the cemetery grounds and will be enjoyed for years to come. Thank you to our anonymous donor.
