The commission said it plans to construct an enclosed structure to house a clock and bell recovered from a church fire and hopes to site it as a small park; CVRPC suggested possible grant funding to support the project.

Commissioner Susan L. said the town has plans to build an enclosed structure to hold the clock and bell that were saved from a church fire and that the site could serve as a small park for weddings or other special occasions. Rich Turner indicated he could share a sketch, and Eli Toohey suggested potential grant programs that might fund the work.
