🌳 Westbury's Streets Get a Fresh Look

Big changes are coming to Westbury! The town is almost done with its $7 million street makeover, focusing on Maple Avenue and Union Avenue. These busy streets are getting a complete refresh that will make the area look better and work better for everyone. The project has been in the works for months, and it's nearly ready to show off. Local shop owners and people living nearby will soon get to enjoy prettier sidewalks, new lighting, and more appealing storefronts.

Think of it as giving two of Westbury's main streets a nice touch-up that will make the whole neighborhood feel more welcoming. The work should be done in the next few months, bringing new life to these well-traveled roads.
