Mayor urges support for businesses amid water plant construction
Mayor Anne Burt addressed Woodbury residents on June 23 about ongoing construction of a new water treatment plant, acknowledging the traffic disruptions and inconveniences affecting local businesses and asking the community to support those struggling with access issues during the project.
The Woodbury City Council heard from Mayor Burt about the major infrastructure project currently underway in the community. The new water treatment plant construction is causing significant traffic impacts, including detours that have made it harder for residents to reach local businesses in affected areas.
Mayor Burt acknowledged the challenges the construction is creating for both residents and business owners. Rather than simply apologizing for the disruption, she emphasized that city officials are working to minimize the impact where possible and urged community members to actively support local businesses that are experiencing access difficulties during this period.
To help residents stay informed about the project, the city is providing official channels for updates. Residents can visit woodburyamen.gov/watertreatment for the latest information on construction impacts and detours. Those who want regular updates can sign up for email alerts through woodburyamen.gov/intouch.
The message reflects a broader effort by city leadership to balance necessary infrastructure improvements with support for the local business community during a period of disruption.
