☀️ New Sunshades Installed at the Pender Park! ☀️

We're excited to announce the installation of two new sunshade structures at the Village park, made possible through a Cancer Prevention Grant awarded to the Northeast Nebraska Public Health Department.

This grant focuses on reducing the risk of skin cancer by promoting sun safety and preventing sunburns in highly used public spaces throughout the region. The two new shades installed in Pender are 100% grant-funded and donated through this program.

Each shade measures 32' x 32' x 32' and provides UPF 50+ protection with 95% UV blockage. The heavy-duty fabric is both water- and air-permeable, creating a comfortable shaded area for families, children, and park visitors to enjoy throughout the summer.

A special thank you to Northeast Power for assisting with the installation of the shade structures. Their support helped make this project possible and ensured the shades were installed safely and efficiently.

We appreciate the Northeast Nebraska Public Health Department and all project partners for investing in the health, safety, and well-being of our community. Be sure to stop by the park and enjoy the new shaded areas!

Have you noticed activity in the park and wondered what’s happening?

We’re excited to share that the Village of Pender was awarded $29,850 from the Urban and Community Forestry grant to improve and maintain the health of the trees in our community. As part of this project, 10 deceased or high-risk trees will be safely removed, 41 trees will be professionally pruned, and 10 new trees will be planted.

While it can be difficult to see trees removed, it is important to preserve the health of surrounding trees and ensure the park remains a safe and enjoyable place for everyone. As you can see from the photos the removal of these trees is necessary. The addition of new trees will help strengthen and beautify our park for years to come.

Best of all, this work is being completed through grant funding, allowing the Village to make these important improvements while minimizing the financial impact on local taxpayers. A special thank you to the Park & Green space Committee for their hard work on this grant!

Thank you for your patience during this project and for your continued support as we invest in the future of our parks and community.

PENDER UTILITIES - DIG NOTICE
The Village of Pender is required to complete a water service line investigation as part of a federal requirement to identify and inventory all water service line materials within the community. The Village has 500+ water service lines that must be investigated and documented. Beginning this week, residents will see Village employees working throughout town using a specialized vacuum (vac) trailer to safely expose underground water lines. Crews will dig a small, approximately 1-foot diameter hole to identify the service line material. After the inspection is completed, the area will be backfilled with sand and restored with topsoil and grass seed. This work will continue throughout the summer and fall until all accessible water services have been identified. For questions or more information please reach out to the Village office at 402-385-3232 or visit https://www.villageofpender.com/projects.
