ATTENTION GARDINER RESIDENTS!

Christ Church is under construction and the area of Dresden Avenue that runs between Church St and School St, opposite the Common will be closed and there will be heavy equipment there off and on through the end of November. The construction company is coordinating with the Church and the Gardiner Police Department. Any questions regarding the construction should be directed to the Church, not the city. Residents are encouraged to plan alternate routes for the next six weeks and to be mindful of small children playing in the Common during this phase of construction.
