Found Money To Fix Dock

My suggestion is to shift the route of the Riverwalk Project so that it includes the Upper James St Dock [currently the project does not include the docks as part of the riverwalk] .  Funding problem solved!  In case you do not remember, the project has a 1.2 million dollar price tag.  The Village taxpayers were going to have to fork over 20% of that 1.2 million bucks which would be $226,000.  We could pay $200,000 for the repair of the upper James St dock and $226,000 for the Riverwalk project.  Or just shift the route........$200,000 SAVED!  Go ahead all ye naysayers and tell me this won't work......



Here is something else that everyone has forgotten......The past few summers a group of volunteer scuba divers pick up debris around the Upper James Dock.  The divers noticed the deterioration and Village Officials were notified.  Soooooo this should have been no surprise!
