Road Rebuilding Projects to Start Week of October 28
Updated October 2019
UPDATE: Thru traffic is not allowed in the closed section of Tansel Road, and no one should move any barricades anywhere along the project site. Only residents who live in the closed section of Tansel Road are allowed to go around the barricades at the railroad tracks, which is the approved route to access their homes. Residents who live on Key Lane should use Church Street to get to U.S. 136. Similarly, at the other project site, only residents who live on the closed section of 30th Street should use that roadway to access their homes; thru traffic should find an alternate road such as Kathleen Avenue or Robey Drive.
Clermont Street Commissioner Lora Miller is pleased to announce that road rebuilding projects at two sites in the Town of Clermont will begin Monday, October 28, and should be completed by the end of the week, weather permitting.
Signs notifying residents of the road work will be posted Thursday (Oct. 24) or Friday (Oct. 25) near the two project sites: Tansel Road from U.S. 136 north to the railroad tracks, and 30th Street from Tansel to Bridgeport Road.
For more on these projects, including maps and detour information for the road closures on Tansel Road and 30th Street, view the rest of the article on the Street Commissioner page.

Update on Dandy Trail Bridge Project
Published November 2019
The Dandy Trail bridge over Eagle Creek was originally set to reopen around Halloween. Unfortunately, that will not be happening. News about delays on DPW's Dandy Trail bridge project was shared at the end of October by District 6 City-County Councillor Janice McHenry. On the From Your City-County Councillor page is her message to district residents, including an e-mail from a DPW representative. To sum it up, the bridge is not expected to reopen until mid-December due to delays in pouring the concrete for the bridge deck. Read the full update details here.

Clermont History Project -- Photos Wanted
Updated October 2019
UPDATE: If you have photos or memories of Clermont to share, go to the Clermont Memories page.
Many Clermont residents have lived in or around town for decades, and they can attest to the fact that much has changed, even in the last 5, 10, 20 years! Many new residents are unaware of what life in Clermont was like even a few years ago, and some have been asking about the history of their older homes or buildings in town. If you have photos that show events, schools, streets, houses, churches, shops, farms, and life in general from in and around Clermont--even from the early 2000s--your town councillor Mike Beam would be happy to scan your photos and preserve them as part of an ongoing Clermont history project. Currently, Mike fields historical questions from residents and relies on newspaper articles he can find, library reference documents, or the scattered stories and photos across social media. But your own local photos, family memoirs, postcards, and other historical items would be even more helpful! Contact Mike at ClermontMikeBeam@gmail.com if you have photos or another item to share (it's OK if the photos include people!).
