This small <br /> project is an important step for our Town in that it is our first park dedicated to honoring <br /> those who have fought for the freedoms we enjoy, and will also serve as a long-standing, <br /> inspiring and beautiful gift to the residents of Mashpee. <br /> The site of the park is the prominent location at the comer of Great Neck Road North and <br /> Route 130,, directly across from the Town Hall at the site of"Collins Lot". The park's <br /> attractive design includes a memorial to honor Mashpee Veterans who have served in all <br /> wars, as well as a platform for outdoor performances and a kiosk for Mashpee events. <br /> In order for the park to be a successful project, it is critical to receive community support <br /> and funding to aid the Town's efforts. The total cost of the park will be about $130,000. <br /> The Mashpee 2000 Park Committee has requested funding from the Town for <br /> ,approximately half of the total cost, with the remainder to be raised through community <br /> pledges. <br /> Recommendation: The Finance Committee recommends approval. <br /> Motion made by Selectman Taylor, <br /> Motion-, I move the Town vote to appropriate and transfer from revenue available for <br /> appropriation $65,000 to the Mashpee Memorial Park Account. <br /> Motion passes unanimously at 7:40 pm. <br /> 2 <br />
