Board Notes
Parks
- Forestry Project –For those who don’t know, we continue to work on a forestry Project for both the Town Park and the Camp facility –If everything goes right, the plan will start in the fall. Bids to go out in mid to late summer. As mentioned previously everything is done in cooperation with the DEC and their recommendations and should serve as a benefit to the town in several different ways including financially
- Trail System and grant –Still waiting on response, we should hopefully hear something in the next few days actually. Should we not get the grant, I will work on a smaller scale trail improvement project in the park that can hopefully be done in house.
- Senior Center Garden – the garden at the senior center has been completed. A special thanks to two local citizens for their tremendous contributions. Also, to the Town Supervisor and Parks and Recreation crew for their assistance and continued maintenance on the garden throughout the summer
The area currently known as “the bike pad” is slated to be repaved and painted in July. While it became an unintentional facility after removing the old hockey rink, it is highly used and in need of refurbishing.
