3 INTERVIEWS CONDUCTED FOR FLOOD STUDY

The Town Bd interviewed 3 qualified consulting firms on Tuesday to conduct a study of E Hartsdale Ave flooding and to make recommendations. The meeting/interview was open to the public. I feel optimistic that we will come up with a good plan after we hire the consultants. The study, once authorized, will take about 5 months.

SHOULD JAZZ CONCERTS BE HELD IN EVENING?

The jazz concert this past Saturday afternoon was a big success. Carl Burnett Power Trio provided the community with awesome music and entertainment. The concerts will continue every Saturday from noon to 2 at DeSanti Plaza.
Next year -- should we also hold some concerts in the evening on the avenue?

NEW BANNERS SUGGESTED ADVERTISING FACT THAT E HARTSDALE AVE IS OPEN

I am requesting that the town purchase attractive new banners that can be placed on poles on E Hartsdale Ave advertising the fact that the street is open for business. We need to work harder to attract more people to the street.
