At Wednesday night’s Regular Batavia Town Board meeting, the Board voted unanimously to accept a piece of property along Rt. 5 as a donation to the Town of Batavia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The small piece of land at 2633 West Main street road will be included in the Town’s Parks Program. A second access point will be created for entry to the Tonawanda Creek for kayakers, canoers, tubers and rafters who want to float down stream and have a place to get out and not have to paddle all the way back to Kiwanis Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The land was donated to the Town by David R. Everett and Mark P. Wagner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Batavia Republican Committee also gave $5,000 towards the project, which Supervisor Greg Post says the Town has been working on for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The project is at no expense to the taxpayer,” says Post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The owners cleaned it up a bit, its perfectly positioned to have access to deep water prior to the dam. Just blessed to have generous members of the community.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
