With Summer over and a new season beginning, I need to update you about the park improvement project. Two parts of the improvement plan have been completed: replacement of the park water filter system and installation of a new drinking fountain and bottle filler. A third part of the plan, recognition and memorial signage, is complete except for determining a dedication date for placement of the signage. Playground equipment needs have been assessed and will be initated after the existing sand base has been removed and replaced. A bid to do that part of the project has been accepted. Weather (rain/soft ground) has been an issue but conditions should improve in the next few weeks. The old drinking fountain also needs to be removed.
SPECIAL NOTE: This may be the last narrative that appears in this website as the town has received word that the cost of the website has been raised by 300%! This cost is prohibitive so we are seeking assistance in developing a new website.
UPDATE: We are in negotiations with the website company and may yet work something out that allows us to continue with this site. Until then or until they close us down, we will add information.
