Final Push On Coop Sidewalks

The final trees are coming down in downtown Cooperstown today as the push begins to complete the village's $2 million sidewalk project by Memorial Day Weekend.  Central Paving Vice President Charles Durse, who was at the scene today, said the start of work was delayed by the long winter, but he fully expects to meet the end-of-May deadline.
