Lease Request - Oregon Ave / Old Tannery Site

The Park association submitted a formal request to lease the Tannery site in Mercersburg.  On Monday we presented a letter to the Borough of Mercersburg asking for a long term lease of the vacant lot on Oregon Ave.  We believe that we can address the needed improvements to the site and create a great public park on that property.  We also would like to take advantage of state grant funds, and the most possible grant money would require us to be in a lease agreement with the town.  Hopefully by the next town meeting we'll know if the town council accepts our requests and meets with us to finalize a lease agreement.  We have been working out several contingency plans in the mean time.  We are getting anxious to begin this great community project.
