Burning ban in Grant County

The Grant County Board of Commissioners have issued a temporary ban on outdoor burning effective, Wednesday, July 16. The ban prohibits all outdoor burning until further notice and will be lifted when conditions improve. If citizens are caught burning they could

face fines and other consequences, the news release noted.

Elmer City council voted to allow Jeremiah Seekins and a Young Life group to use its basement room. The town will charge $10 a week for use of the room, which Seekins said will be about two hours a week.

The council at Elmer City adopted a greenhouse gas reduction policy at it meeting recently so the town would score higher in any application for Transportation Improvement Board.

The town is interested in another sidewalk or road improvement project.
