RESTORATION PROJECT; PRESENTATION TO THE HOWICK LOCAL BOARD
On September 21st, 2023, we presented an update and overview to the Howick Local Board of progress made on the Restoration Project, during the period covering the initial funding grant we received from them.
Needless to say, we're pretty proud of the transformation to date and very appreciative of the support we have received from the Howick Local Board. But, there's still plenty more to do!
