Woodbury promotes summer events, launches ash tree financing program
The Woodbury City Council highlighted several community initiatives at its June meeting, including a new financing option for residents dealing with ash tree removal and details about upcoming summer celebrations.
The city introduced an alternative financing program to help residents pay for private ash tree removal. Rather than offering a rebate or discount, the program allows homeowners to spread costs over time by adding them to their property tax bills as a special assessment. This addresses a growing concern for many communities dealing with ash tree damage from the emerald ash borer pest.
Woodbury is promoting a Juneteenth Trail walk available through June 22nd, with educational signs posted at City Hall, Colby Lake Park, and Ojibway Park. The city also released a new free park and trails map available for pickup at City Hall, Fairview Sports Center, and Eagle Valley Golf Course. An interactive online version of the map is regularly updated for residents who prefer digital access.
The city's 2024 Water Quality Report is now available on the city website. Residents without internet access can request a paper copy from the Public Works department.
Looking ahead, Woodbury's 4th of July Hometown Celebration will feature live music, bounce houses, and food trucks, with opportunities to meet City Council members. However, traffic patterns will be modified this year due to ongoing construction. The city plans to publish a detailed traffic plan on its website to help residents navigate the changes.
