Mineral Point Holds Street Party To Mark End of Construction

After being closed for nearly six months during construction, Mineral Point celebrated the re-opening of their main street with a street party. The celebration included a beer garden, street dance, ribbon cutting ceremony, family activities and a street fair on Saturday. Construction crews tore up High Street from March to August to replace old water pipes underneath the town. Some businesses took a 75% dip in sales over the summer months when it would usually be very busy. But, many business owners in Mineral Point said the construction project was necessary. Some business leaders would like to see the street party become an annual event.
