If the weather cooperates Peru’s children should have a good skating rink this coming winter. Yesterday Town of Peru Highway Department personnel assised by Town of AuSable personnel laid down a 2.5 inch binder base topped by 1.5 inches of asphalt at the rink. The surface measures 60 ft. x 133 ft. Today the crews paved Town Park Road leading to the rink and Sullivan Park.
$13,730 has been raised to date toward the cost of the project through a NYS Health Department Foundation program called IOBY. Local residents and businesses have donated $6,865 which is being matched by the Foundation. The surface is also intended to be used as a basketball court. The original cost estimate was $19,300. Pam Barber explained the program last year. https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/…/peru…/861036476
