Committee recommends approval of Yankee Bottle Club marker for Cheshire Rail Trail
Summary
The committee unanimously recommended the city accept a donated historical marker from the Yankee Bottle Club to mark the original Keene bottle works site on the Cheshire Rail Trail and authorized the city manager to facilitate installation.
The Municipal Services, Facilities & Infrastructure Committee recommended the City Council authorize the Yankee Bottle Club to design, fabricate and donate a historical marker to be installed on the Cheshire Rail Trail identifying the original Keene bottle works site. The committee also authorized the city manager to take all actions necessary to facilitate installation.
Councilor Ed Haas, representing the Yankee Bottle Club, said the bottle show they run calls attention to local bottle history and that a marker on the rail trail would better identify the original bottle works site (near the rail trail behind public works) than an existing New Hampshire Department of Transportation sign near the recreation center that points to a site 2.5 miles south.
A motion to recommend authorization and installation was seconded and passed unanimously in committee.
