Park project renderings to be displayed July 4; board seeks resident feedback, will not solicit donations at Civic Association table
Summary
The board said final renderings of the tennis/pickleball and park plan will be available for public review and feedback at the town's July 4 event; the Long Beach Civic Association asked that the board not solicit donations at its table, so fundraising was deferred.
The Long Beach Park Board said consultants will deliver final renderings of the park project and that the board plans to display them at the July 4 community event for resident feedback.
Board members told attendees they have been meeting frequently with consultant RVI and expected final drawings and renderings at an upcoming meeting. The board arranged to use the Long Beach Civic Association's table across the street during the July 4 event to show the designs and gather input, but the Civic Association requested that the table not be used to solicit donations because the association's event is itself a fundraiser. As a result, the board said it will show renderings and accept feedback but will not actively solicit donations at that table.
Members discussed logistics for the display (table, easel, poster boards) and asked staff to locate town equipment or ask the fire department for portable tables and signage used at past events. The board urged members to help staff the table and said staff will circulate the renderings for additional resident input before finalizing the plan.
No fundraising action was taken at the meeting; board members emphasized resident feedback will drive final adjustments to the design.
Next steps: the board expects final renderings at the next consultant meeting and will display them at the July 4 event; staff to coordinate equipment and volunteers.
