While 200K seems like a lot of money, this seems like a smart move!

We have a similar warrant article in Alton but it only raises $7,500. There was a LOT more money needed for this project but several of our local marinas and businesses pledged money at a selectmen's meeting in early December to help absorb the cost of this... kudos to them for that.
