Summary

Construction of a new Town public-beach parking lot began after the snow cleared in spring 2004. The Beacon said the project would make the Parish Hall corner safer and improve access for bathers, children, businesses, and summer events.

Evidence limits

The report describes work underway and anticipated benefits; it does not document final completion or a deed boundary.
