ROCKLAND “It does not have to be a tourist town that we sell to others but avoid ourselves,” said Connie Hayes, Rockland resident and member of the 2021 Planning Committee for Downtown Rockland.
On Wednesday, April 8, the 22-member committee, facilitated by Rockland Main Street’s David Gogel and City Councilor Louise MacLellan-Ruf, presented recommendations to Council regarding a plan for road and sidewalk use in the downtown area, infrastructure and beautification improvements, what was best for Rockland businesses, enhancement of public access, and serving the community during COVID-19.
