You can also see a full-length feature story on Hometown Pride Days that was sponsored by the planning committee.

Rena Weber gives us a very brief update this week about the status of Rockville’s “electronic initiative.” So far so good as there have been no complaints about the council packets being shifted to online instead of paper. The other updates Rena shared are in regards to an informational meeting that will be held later this month about Rockville potentially installing wind turbines. Lastly, the city will be doing nitrate testing for residents who have their own private water wells at the end of August. For more information on the testing feel free to call city hall.

Lastly, in the Richmond update we simply want to remind everybody that DigElog ROCORI was out at the annual River Lake Days. Later next week you can see all of the events that we captured.
