Larsson family asks trustees to back renaming Bishop's Marina; trustees to draft resolution
Summary
A Larsson family member told trustees the marina historically has been known as Larsson's Marina and asked for a resolution authorizing the president to sign a letter of support; trustees agreed to prepare a resolution for a future meeting.
A member of the Larsson family requested that the trustees support changing the name of a town-owned marina from Bishop's Marina back to Larson/Larsson's Marina, saying the name has been used locally since the marina's long family stewardship. Trustees said staff would prepare a resolution authorizing the trustees' president to sign a letter of support and circulate the resolution ahead of the next meeting.
Trustees and the speaker described the property's history: the family sold portions of the marina and adjacent wetlands to preserve them but have maintained local usage of the Larsson name. Town staff and the parks department were named as participants in next steps.
What comes next: Trustees asked staff to draft a resolution for consideration at an upcoming meeting and noted that a formal resolution would be the avenue for the name change request.
