BROWNSTOWN – The Town of Brownstown has seen some progress in yard and property maintenance and wants to thank residents for their efforts. But more work needs to be done.
The Brownstown Police Department, along with Town Council Members will begin looking for additional areas of improvement on October 1 and will advise property owners of such opportunities.
Additionally, the Town Council has reached out to several metal/scrap dealers and will have contact info for local companies that expressed interest in assisting with the removal of scrap metal, automobiles, etc. if needed.
