Update- Town Park Improvement Project-
The Town and New York State have signed the contract for the project which now gives us access to the $500,000 grant from NYS Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation. This has been a very lengthy process due to wetlands on the Town property being reclassified from "federal wetlands" to "New York state wetlands" (which required a biological study of plant and animals in the area), and we had to have a more detailed survey completed to exclude the cemetery acreage from the new "parkland" designation. The Town Park property will remain one parcel of land but now has two separate designated uses. This will facilitate the process for future grants for both the park and the cemetery. Our engineers hope to have the construction work put out to bid in September with some work potentially being completed this Fall and the remainder commencing in the Spring. If you have questions or concerns about the project, please feel free to reach out to discuss them with me.
Thank you,
Jeff Sands, Town Supervisor
