Article ReminderNews: "After seven years of planning, fundraising and construction, the new playscape at the Lake Street School in Vernon finally reached completion and was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 24."
As the students, their teachers and staff looked on, Principal Bob Testa offered his greetings, introducing Marcotte , Mayor Jason McCoy, who read a proclamation of congratulations. The ribbon was then ceremoniously cut, and without further ado, the children got to enjoy the new playscape. In short order, the swings, the slides, the jungle gyms and the parallel bars were in full use.

Conservation Plan Update Article | ReminderNews
Article ReminderNews: "In accordance with state statutes, the POCD, which guides land use, must be updated every 10 years, or the town could lose funding. Vernon’s 10-year cycle ends as of July 1, 2010."
Mayor Jason McCoy said the first two phases have been reserved, for a total of $76,000. For fiscal year 2010, phase three of $38,000 has been adopted, for a potential total of $114,000 for first three of the five phases of the project.
Part of the negotiations are for the town to use some of its own resources, such as the Geographic Information System (GIS), to defray some costs. Mc-Coy indicated the town may also seek the help of a different firm for the public polling, to save more money.
