Liz Montgomery reports for Porcupine Soup that the Greenville pond has been emptied. Work continues on the pond, in Veterans Park in the center of town, to eliminate the algae that covered the water this summer. Greenville is removing up to 1,250 cubic yards of materials from the pond, the first time it has been dredged since 1997. Halstead Excavating, Inc. is getting $42,800 of Greenville's federal COVID-19 funding for its work on the pond. They'll use what they dredge from the pond to fill in low areas of the park, according to Town Supervisor Paul Macko. Read the full story at Porcupine Soup.
