Plans to renovate Vanderveer Park are moving ahead, although one Easton Area School Board member thinks it’s a bad idea.
Easton Area School District Superintendent David Piperato outlined the plan during his report Tuesday at the school board meeting. You can watch the meeting on YouTube.
Piperato said the City of Easton will pay a matching grant of $48,000 in order to go after $325,000 in funding. The park is on school district property next to Cottingham Stadium but it won’t cost the school district anything to improve the park, Piperato said.
