We're actually doing the sidewalks. So said the government may be a little slower than it should 180 00:14:52,670 --> 00:14:59,970 But it gets thought if you hang in there. So we're we're connecting all these sidewalks you could go to place go to the schools go to the shopping 181 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,260 Senate, but go to the historic sites too. We have a lot to offer as a town and we shouldn't forget our history. That's how you make mistakes. 182 00:15:07,820 --> 00:15:22,460 We are updating the historic marker at the site with goes into detail in the history and everything on that site is under the purview of the historic commission section.
