Center Executive Director Diedrie Roemer, who is also associated with the local Lions Club, reported recently to the Common Council that she wanted to thank DPW, which got the facility “cleaned up this spring.”
She thanked the DPW staff for also hanging flags on Main Street and “making our city a welcoming place.”
“We are looking forward to the beautiful hanging flower baskets coming in May,” Roemer stated. “The Lions Club is accepting donations for the flowers, which can be mailed to P.O. Box 305, Johnstown, NY 12095.” She said any amount is “very much appreciated.”
Johnstown Council votes to ban parking next to former Knox Junior High School | The Daily Gazette

The Common Council voted unanimously Monday night to ban all parking at all times on the east side of South Perry Street in front of the former Knox Junior High School from the intersection of 1st Avenue to the intersection of 4th Ave.
Monday night Jackson told the council the Greater Johnstown School District asked for the parking change in the wake of the district’s decision to move 5th and 6th grade students to the Knox building, creating the potential for an influx of traffic during school drop off and pick up times.
