Clinton, Westbrook, & Old Saybrook Vol. XXVIII Iss. 29
Hearing Set on Wren Park Community Center Plan By Eric O'Connell Staff Writer WESTBROOK
A public presentation on the results of a report recommending Wren Park as the best site in town to build a community center has been scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 12, at 7 p.m. at Town Hall. At a meeting on July 8, the Board of
Selectmen (BOS) voted to schedule the public hearing so residents can hear the full results of a report released last month on the feasibility of a community center in Westbrook. The hearing will begin immediately following a town meeting scheduled for 6:30 p.m. the same day. The community center project has not officially been approved by the town; the hearing is intended to provide
information and allow for public questions. At the hearing, the board plans to have a consultant from the firm that authored the report present, as well as Westbrook Finance Director Donna Castracane to provide context on the cost estimates contained in the report. See Hearing Set page 6
