Peru sets March Town Hall
Disaster recovery topics include push for new water treatment system in Peru
By News Channel NebraskaPERU – The Peru community and surrounding areas are invited to a Town Hall on March 9 at 6:30 p.m. in the Peru State College Performing Arts Center or by Zoom video conference.
The event will feature the following topics:
- progress on joining Auburn water system;
- update on current, temporary water treatment system in Peru;
- update on grants to fund construction of new water treatment system.
The City of Peru and the Northeast Nemaha County Long Term Recovery Group (LTRG) are coordinating with federal and state agencies, as well as private organizations and foundations, to move priority projects forward and emerge from the 2019 flood stronger than ever.
“Progress continues on all infrastructure projects for the City of Peru,” said Deborah Solie, Disaster Recovery Coordinator. “The Northeast Nemaha County LTRG is committed to communicating with the public through town halls, social media, letters and all other forms of media. This is the second of a series of town halls that will be held bi-monthly to engage with the community and provide updates.”
The in-person town hall will be socially distanced in the Performing Arts Center and attendees are required to wear masks. A zoom option will be available for those unable to attend in person, and a recording of the town hall will be made available to the public.
For those interested in attending, golf carts will be available to assist with transportation to the PAC. Contact [email protected] or call the City of Peru at (402) 825-6685 for details.
