Been doing some reading on different things, now will we help our park be enviromentally friendly. the new town hall should have solar power lots of windows,use recycled water for watering the grass and flushing. Lots of trees, electric mowers, or the old reel type mowers. No vinyl siding.

ff12... you've got something there! Landscaping that requires little attention begins with shrubs.... ornamental shrubs do a good deal for not having to tend to them much... and flowers from seeds like Zinneas that are native to our area... grow well with little attention!

ff12: The Long-Range Finance Committee, which is the group doing the initial work in determining how the Town land will be used, met with the architectural firm this past Tuesday evening at 6:30. They have at least one more meeting before their recommendations are presented to Town Council. A date for the next Committee meeting has not yet been set, although the people from the architectural firm said they'd need 3 to 4 weeks in order to have everything ready for that meeting.
The date for this past meeting was announced at the Aug. 17 Town Council meeting, so we had an announcement of it on the front page of the NWO. The Town also posted a notice of it on the door of Town Hall. I was the only person at the meeting with the architects besides Committee members and Council members. I think this was true of the last meeting as well, although we might not have had as much notice of it as we did of this one.

No skate park or bike trails in the new park plan? We need a playground like they have at triad park in Colfax(the newest one) and why not copy there rental building as well.

Does anyone think we can convince the YMCA to locate here instead of Oak Ridge. Maybe we can work some kind of deal with Summerfield.

ff12 - Do you ever get the feeling you're talking to yourself? Looks like that's what you've been doing on this topic. Sorry we haven't been paying more attention.
What do you think of the plan they've adopted (it was on the front page of the last NWO)?

| It looks like a good plan, I just hope they get plenty of input from the community and develop the plans the way they need to so the Town can qualify for grants to help get it built!!! We need more ballfields/recreation areas!!! ♥♥♥
