Major donation to Riverfront Park

Today I learned that an individual who owns in Winterset (Canaan Valley) has contributed $10,000 cash to the Davis Riverfront Park! Name to be published soon. This is the biggest donation yet. I am working with the Parks & Rec Commission for authorization to set up an online donation site for the Park. People interested in the development of the town park should know that the Town doesn't get much from property taxes, and certainly not enough to consider "luxuries" like this park. So, it comes down to tax deductible giving to develop a public project like the Riverfront Park. Plenty of folks in Canaan care about having Davis as their "town" to visit, and a few more might even choose to live in Davis. If you would like to support the development of the Riverfront Park (see previous posting), email me and I'll give the phone number for the president, Doug Martin.
