Fulton, NY. Mayor Michaels announces a fall 2021 “Fulton Forward Beautification Blitz” in collaboration with Carpenters Local 277. The project will help clean up and beautify various areas of the city. In the months of September through November, local members of the union will work throughout the city cleaning up trash in neighborhoods, sprucing up parks, helping local organizations with small projects and volunteering at the Fulton Fall Fest scheduled for October 9th.
