During a recent government meeting, community concerns regarding the harbor reserve project were prominently voiced by local resident Jerome Jacobs. Jacobs expressed frustration over the lack of transparency and communication surrounding the project, which he claims was approved by the town council in December 2018. He noted that despite the approval, some community members, including a friend of his, are unaware of the project's current status, raising questions about record-keeping and accountability within the council.
Jacobs highlighted the significance of the Prince William Estate, emphasizing that it is a community with a unique access point and a mix of residents, including retired mayors and educators. He conveyed a sense of urgency and disappointment, stating that the community deserves clarity on developments that could impact their neighborhood. Jacobs indicated that he is actively gathering more information and plans to present further findings at the next meeting.
The meeting underscored the importance of effective communication between local government and residents, particularly regarding projects that directly affect community living conditions. As Jacobs continues to seek answers, the council faces pressure to address these concerns and ensure that residents are kept informed about significant developments in their area.
