Village purchase of Schedler Property for Fields?

The Village Council will be discussing the possible purchase of the Schedler property along Rte. 17 at its Work Session this Wednesday 9/3 at 7:30 p.m. in the Village Hall Courtroom. If you believe that the Village should continue with its plans to try and secure grant money to help purchase that property, to add much-needed field space to the Village, I encourage you to attend the meeting and make your feelings known. From what I understand, the "old" Council was moving ahead with plans to try and get the grant and purchase what is absolutely the last possible multi-acre piece of property in the Village, guided in part by the Recreation Master Plan, but now the new Council isn't so sure if they want to go ahead. In fact, some of the Council members have stated that they definitely do not want to proceed. This is an important discussion for our Village and especially anybody who cares about open space and/or recreation. Once that property is gone -- turned into a car dealership, as "word on the street" is one possibility -- it will be gone baby gone.

So if you have an opinion, one way or the other, please let the Village Council know.
