MAYOR AND ORDER APPROPRIATING $2,511,737 FROM
COMMUNITY PRESERVATION ACT FUNDS. GREAT OUTCOME
--$400,000 GRANT TO HELP THE SCSL IN ITS 2 FIELD PROJECTS.
METAL POLE LIGHTING AND NETTING IN RIGHT FIELD AREA.

Good morning everyone,
Congratulations!!!!

The City Council voted to approve all the FY23 projects recommended by the CPC Committee.
Next steps:
You CANNOT start your projects until the contracts have been signed by all parties and they are set up in the system.
This process will take, at least, 2 possibly 3 weeks.
I will let you know when you can start your projects but at this point we are looking at possibly June.

Thank you
Sandy Dennis
