On Saturday, August 29th at 10:30, the dedication of the Plum Brook Recreational Area took place. Located on Potwine Lane, this beautiful facility is now open for use by the citizens of Amherst. Notwithstanding the rain, many people attended to participate in the celebration. The Master of Ceremony was the Chair of the Leisure Services and Supplemental Education Committee (LSSE), Stan Ziomek. Stan entertained the audience with his good humor and stories. A presentation was made by the Amherst Youth Soccer Association of a check of $50,000.00 to the town to support the construction of this great facility. Linda Chalfant, Director of LSSE, stated the town's appreciation for this extraordinary gift.
I also would like to acknowledge the great work of the Department of Public Works (DPW) on the Plum Brook Project. Guilford Mooring, Superintendent of the DPW provided the leadership and resources necessary to complete the construction portion of the project. Jason Skeels, Town Engineer worked very hard on this project especially ensuring that the environmental commitments made by the town were completed. Dave Orrel has worked his magic on the turf to reduce the weeds and enhance the growth of grass.
