When strong summer storms hit like the ones Streamwood has experienced this summer, our parks' trees, branches and other brush are usually the unfortunate casualties and clean-up can be a long, arduous and expensive process. Now the Streamwood Park District has a new weapon to aid in clean-up in the form of a brand-new Vermeer BC1500 Brush Chipper which arrived last week after the Park District Board of Commissioners approved its purchase at the July 26 board meeting. The total cost of the new chipper purchased through the Sourcewell Joint Purchasing Program was $60,000 delivered.
