Township Initiatives

Pavilion construction at Brummitt Road will not occur in the near term.  Quotes were solicited, and came in too high to justify the project.  The project may be revisited when construction prices moderate.  Pavilion(s) remain in the mid-range plan for both parks.

The feasibility for an educational nature area and perimeter path is being evaluated for portions of the Elm Road property that are currently unused.
