Adele Douglas emailed the board regarding the recent proposal to sell the town’s tennis court on Jenkins Street. A few years ago, there was interest in restoring the courts for pickleball; however, it was deemed too expensive.  Douglas pointed to pickleball’s popularity, the availability of state grants, and Peru’s previous success in being awarded grants for Little Ausable Park, Heyworth/Mason Park and the Little Ausable River Trail.

Councilman Irwin said Greg Badger is still painting panels for the Heyworth-Mason Park’s historic stone building. More sponsors are needed to complete the plan. If interested, call Mel Irwin at 518-578-5782. The panels are $200 each.
