Other projects that improve our community:

-
Our Parks- Lake Terrace Park and the areas around the Recreation Center are receiving grants, and we are applying for additional matching grants.
-
Biase Center needed roof repair- more to come on our assets- we need to step-it up.
-
LaReine Avenue Church- cost to raze site in, appraisals in process- more to come in February.
A very important ordinance we are working on for introduction in February is short-term-rentals.
We need better control and visibility of this area.
