Contractors take core samplings 

On Friday, Sept. 15, contractors working for the City of Palatka took core samples from sections of St. John Avenue as part of the planning to resurface the street. 

The testing is needed to determine the condition of the road before the project to resurface the road from the railroad tracks by the Palatka Fire Station to the St. Johns River can begin. 

Putnam County is planning to start a project soon to reconstruct and resurface the road from South Palm Avenue to the railroad tracks by the fire station. 

Work on the remaining section of St. Johns Avenue by the City is planned for the beginning of next year.
