Update: Power Restoration Continues in Morristown
Mayor hopes to have more updates as afternoon progresses.
Officials in Morristown continue to work to restore power to areas affected by Hurricane Irene, Mayor Tim Dougherty said on Friday afternoon.
“We hope to have an update at 2 o’clock,” Dougherty said. “We have a gameplan today, and crews will be working over the weekend.”
That gameplan includes restoring power to Parsons Village, as well as part of Morristown’s business district near on North Park Place. Those particular outages were caused by primary lines being down as a result of the storm.
