STRONG PARK PATH CLOSURE

On June 16, 2025, the Town Council voted, in principle, to approve a property boundary line adjustment proposed by the Historical Society. This adjustment would transfer ownership of the parcel on which the tree is located to the Town, allowing us to proceed with mitigation pruning to preserve the tree. Additionally, the Council decided to modify the Waterfront Park design to include an ADA-accessible parking lot adjacent to the old Town Hall, rather than completing the planned improvements at Strong Park, in order to prevent any impact to the tree at this time.

On April 21, 2025, Town Attorney Johnson announced that he has been actively collaborating with the Historical Society's attorney to develop a resolution aimed at preserving the tree. We are optimistic that final action will be taken in the near future.
