Trees have been planted along the southern third of Montgomery Road as
part of 2002's Community Development Block Grant funded street repair
project. Additional trees are being added under the 2003 grant and more
will follow this year with the 2004 funds. Several varieties of trees
were used to provide visual interest. Planters will again be placed in
May. If you are interested in sponsoring a planter for this area or
another location in Norwood, please contact the Planning Director , Donna Laake , or any Tree Board member.
