Unveiling of Park Avenue Clock | Aug. 5, 2021 |
|
On Thursday, August 5th, Mayor Adrian O. Mapp unveiled the new Park Avenue Clock.
For decades, the intersection between Park Avenue and W. Front Street housed a historic clock that didn't provide the correct time. Mayor Mapp understood the importance of the clock and its history, so the City of Plainfield took action and replaced the clock.
Take a look when you're driving on Park Ave.
