With a tip of the hat and a turn of the key,

Road Work Wonders ๐ง
In the land of Reading St. and Raymond too,
MJC Contracting has much ado.
With pipes and pavement, they'll work without fail,
On Thursday and Friday, they'll hammer and nail.
Americana Blvd NE, oh what a sight!
A pipe has failed, causing quite the plight.
But fear not, my friends, for detours are near,
From Tuesday to Friday, they'll make the path clear.
FPL's Pike Electric, with plans so grand,
Will shift the lanes across the land.
From March to May, they'll dig and they'll drill,
On streets aplenty, with skill and with thrill.
Pavement Technologies, oh how divine,
Will make our roads smooth, sleek, and fine.
From Driskell Heights to Palm Bay Colony's door,
They'll rejuvenate roads from February 22 to March 4.
San Filippo Dr SE, get ready for fame,
SFG Construction will give you a new name.
With shoulders and edges and paving so bright,
From February 21-23, they'll work with all their might.
St. Johns Heritage Parkway, don't you frown,
Jr. Davis Construction won't let you down.
With lanes to close and flags to wave,
They'll pave and they'll craft, oh how brave!
Office Closures ๐ช
City offices, listen here,
Presidentโs Day's approaching, let's be clear.
On February 19, doors will stay shut,
But come Tuesday, they'll open, no ifs or buts.
City Meetings and Events
Code Enforcement, oh what a task,
February 21, questions to ask.
In the Council Chambers, the magistrate waits,
From 1 to 2 PM, mark the dates.
City Council, with ears so keen,
A public hearing on March 7, be seen!
At City Hall, the crowd will swell,
To discuss ordinances, in stories they'll tell.
So there you have it, dear Palm Bayer, all told,
With rhymes and rhythms, both brave and bold.
Plan your week with care, and do take heed,
For we're here to inform, at just the right speed.
Keep your eyes on The Palm Bayer, without delay,
For updates and tales, day by day.

We'll keep you in the loop, just for you! ๐๐๐ด

And in city events, be sure to share.

In our splendid Palm Bay, by the sea! ๐
