B. Mrs. Ghiloni updated board on progress of South St. Park. DPW assisted in cutting back some of the costs by doing some excavating and in process found materials, such as gravel, that could be stored and used at a later date. Certain “elements” have been taken out of the project for now to keep costs down. In the future, those “elements” can be added back into the park as more funding.
