Hi Neighbors! Please join the East CAC next Monday for our monthly meeting. 5/19/2025 Lions Park Community Center 7 pm We are lucky to have Senior Engineer Sheri Smith joining us to tell us about the Pigeon House Watershed study and take your questions. The goal of the study is to identify ways to improve the watershed by reducing flooding, replacing/renewing stormwater pipes and infrastructure in poor condition, improve water quality, and repairing stream banks. There is also time for folks to share information about things going on in our area and have a general discussion. My co-chair Mark records the meetings live on Facebook and YouTube. He keeps an eye on the chat so you can ask questions even if you aren’t physically present. You can even watch them later. https://youtube.com/@east-cac https://www.facebook.com/share/1KvGvjd3Fr/?mibextid=wwXIfr I did want to mention that we’ve been having low turnout at our recent meetings even accounting for folks watching virtually. We can always move the meetings to every other month if monthly is proving too frequent. If you’d like to attend meetings but can’t I’d love to hear from you separately about your reasons. Please email me! We want as many people as possible to be […]
