The tennis court improvements would include the purchase and installation of a new tennis net with windscreens and building new benches. New benches would also be built for the upper and lower soccer fields. The proposed bulletin board would be made of corkboard and a plastic screen to protect the posted papers from weather. Brian will submit cost estimates and work closely with Supervisor Hammond. It was the consensus of the Town Board to support the project.
