GENERAL DISCUSSIONS

The need for continued maintenance and improvements to George Freer Park was discussed.

It was mentioned that perhaps a ‘WATERFRONT NEWS” Facebook Page could be created

to generate more energy surrounding the waterfront in the hopes of getting more people involved in it’s preservation.  This of course would have to be first presented to the Town Board for their input and consideration.
