Clemson Boy Scout requests Seneca water tap

For his Eagle Badge project, a Clemson Boy Scout would like to see a patch of beauty at the corner of property that thrived as a textile plant for about 100 years.  Nick Leeper of Troop 235 wants to build a half dozen garden boxes at Hope Avenue and Jamerson Avenue in Utica.  Nick says thru an arrangement with the property owner, the spot of land is being made available for the project.  The garden boxes are to be irrigated.  The scout approached Seneca City Council last night for a water tap.  The request is being handled by Bob Faires, utilities director.
