ONEONTA – For their tireless efforts in clearing Oneonta streets and sidewalks during Winter Storm Stella, Mayor Gary Herzig awarded Public Service Superintendent Larry Harrison and City Engineer Greg Mattice each with a Key to the City during Common Council this evening.

"I couldn't be prouder of the work that DPW and the city engineer did," said Herzig. "They provided exceptional public service to the people of Oneonta. I've had emails, phone calls and letters thanking us for a job well done, but the real congratulations go to the people who've worked so hard."

As Stella raged over Otsego County on Tuesday, March 15, dumping as much as two inches of a snow an hour, Harrison's crew of 11 worked a 14 hour shift to clear the streets for emergency crews.
