Port Wing accepts Xcel 'Solar Park Bench,' schedules Clean-Up Day and seeks AARP grant
Summary
Park Committee announced Clean-Up Day for June 6 (budget $5,000), the board accepted an in-kind 'Solar Park Bench' donation from Xcel Energy (board approved construction of a concrete pad), and an AARP grant application for town-hall acoustic upgrades was submitted with award notification expected in May.
Leann Hess, speaking for the Park Committee, said the town will hold Clean-Up Day on June 6 and allocated $5,000 for the effort. Hess also noted South Shore students have community-service projects and suggested they assist with trails and tree work at Twin Falls Park.
The board voted to accept an in-kind donation from Xcel Energy — a "Solar Park Bench" that provides device charging — and approved constructing a concrete pad (suggested location: the harbor) to host it. The board recorded the motion to accept the award as passed "all in favor." Park volunteers Judy Lundquist, Sheila Bergman and Pam Holt submitted an AARP grant application for acoustic improvements to the town hall (including a laptop, projector and screen); the committee expects to hear back in May. Hess also reported a persistent gas smell at the town hall that may require replacement of the heat exchanger.
