Elementary School Parking Lot Paved THANKS to Petersburg Indian Association
Petersburg Indian Association has recently decided to extend our paving project of Dolphin Street to include the East end of the Elementary School Parking lot. You will be interested in knowing that the cost of this project totals $75,000.
