‘We truly appreciate the many community partners who stepped up – and continue to do so, during this difficult time for many of our families, to help with meals, deliveries, supplies, spaces to gather, and more.
Throughout the past couple weeks, our City Team – like our community partners – have fielded calls, emails, texts, and social media messages from West Side residents impacted by the gas outage. While we have worked diligently to respond to folks, help ensure folks received important information and assistance, as well as walked door-to-door to talk with residents – we are now taking this opportunity to, again, check in with folks who have reached out to us,’ said Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin.
‘We want to make sure folks have essential and correct information, know who to contact for resources and assistance, and help ensure they get connected with the appropriate entity to resolve any outstanding issues or request resources.’
