Things have been a little slower than planned this year, we had hoped to have the park completed, but just like last year Mother Nature didn’t cooperate much.

Today, three of six benches were installed by Jared Trombley, owner of J.C Memorials who generously donated a significant amount of time and materials to make this happen.

We want to thank everyone who has given to make this project a reality, we have a little ways to go but it’s looking pretty good!

We want to give a HUGE shout out to Jared Trombley, the owner of J.C Memorials and his father, for their donation and tireless work to pour the foundations for the six granite benches soon to be installed. He is working hard to help bring the park to it's final stages of construction! This summer was a lot like last year, with all of the rain and severe weather it has taken a little longer to get things done, but we're almost there. Thanks again to everyone who has donated from the very beginning to raze the dilapidated building that once stood here.

It has been a while since we have posted an update on the park construction. Things started off strong this Spring with great progress, and then similar to last year we have been met with delays because of rain.

Our goal is to have all of the granite benches and sign installed in August and landscaping completed in September. This has been a two-year long project that couldn't have been done without all of your support. We truly appreciate everyone's patience as we work to complete the park!

We want to especially thank J.C Memorials for donating time and materials for the installation of the foundations and benches.

Tax exempt donations continue to be appreciated, thank you all again or your support!

We want to thank Northline Utilities LLC for their generous donation of installing a pole to support holiday lighting across Route 9N and to also hang Hometown Hero banners at the park!

We are still waiting on the grass seed to arrive, and while it may be too late for it to germinate this year, hopefully in the Spring it will grow with a little help from overseeding and fertilizer! Things continue to move along!
