Tusten to erect
gazebo in park

By TOM KANE

NARROWSBURG — By the end of July, a gazebo will be erected next to the Narrowsburg Bridge at the site of the future town park.

Tusten supervisor Dick Crandall announced at the town board meeting on June 11 that a grant of $6,250, which comes from the state through the Upper Delaware Council, will pay for the gazebo.

The state is donating the ground to the town for a town park.

In other board business, the new New York State Building Code will require all commercial buildings and places of public assembly to be inspected each year by the code enforcement officer. The inspection period begins on January 1, 2002.

Businesses along Main Street will have to temporarily deed their sidewalks over to the town in order for new sidewalks to be put in. Four hundred and twenty five feet of sidewalks will be replaced. “We’ll be replacing the road surface also,” Crandall said. The project will hopefully begin in the fall, he said.

Crandall announced that long-time resident Tom Nuttycombe will replace retiring Town Justice Ralph Huebner until the November elections when a new justice will be elected.

Crandall said the Narrowsburg Chamber of Commerce will hold a bluegrass concert at the deck on Main Street on Saturday, June 16 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.
