Yates town park too out of the way to spend $2.5 million
Editor:
Why does the Town of Yates need $2.5 million in proposed upgrades to the park? The file picture is from 2014 – 5 years ago!
I am all for taking advantage of the REDI Grants, but this money could be better spent in other more populated areas in Orleans County that are lacking and could benefit from these proposed improvements. This area is not well populated, and this park has never been utilized to the fullest due to its location.
Who will use all the proposed amenities? How will it be promoted? What will the cost be for advertising it? And once the money has been spent, can Yates afford to maintain it and keep taxes down?
