The City of Olney got a surprise from the Nortex Regional Planning Commission in the form of a check that nearly covers the cost of a clamp bucket that will help city workers demolish derelict homes and pick up street trash, City Administrator Arpegea Pagsuberon said.
City workers began removing two giant piles of tires from an abandoned gas station on Main Street five years after the City of Olney’s code enforcement officers began efforts to clean up the dilapidated property. The tires will be trucked to the Olney Convenience Station, where they will be run through the City’s new tire cutter. City officials estimated there are about 2,600 tires in two piles at the gas station at 301 W. Main St.
Olney police arrested a Guatemalan man who said he was paid to drive four undocumented workers from Los Angeles to the Dallas-Fort Worth area on a route that took them down Main Street, an increasingly frequent route for human trafficking.
