UPDATE from Samburg Mayor John Glessner, 12/16****
Volunteers:
We are still looking for volunteers to help sort through donations at the Assembly of God. If you would like to help , please contact Symantha Reed at 731-446-0916
Debris:
After working with Obion County we were able to get the burn permit approved. Thanks to First Choice Farm & Lawn for providing the heavy equipment needed to get the debris removed from Lake Drive all the way to the end of Samburg city limits.
Weather will determine when that process will start.
If you need help with debris removal please contact Phillip Reed 731-446-6786.
The CORE response team has arrived and are ready to assist. “They respond to needs on the ground as it evolves.”
