Department of Planning and Natural Resources' St. John office moved out of The Marketplace more than a month ago, but still can't be reached by phone. The department is now operating out of the old Head Start building, above, located across from the Elaine I. Sprauve Library, but the office has not had an operating phone since it relocated. With no phone or internet service, the only way to contact DPNR officials on St. John is in person and officials are often in the field. |
