Barriston City Unveils New Development Project
By Wendy Ogilvy
The Barriston City Planning Commission announced plans last Thursday to begin work on a revitalization of the art district on Chestnut Avenue, Long considered the hub of Barriston's art scene, the area has fallen into disrepair. The project will involve widening the sidewalks, repaving the street, and building a park in the area. In addition, two information billboards showing maps of the district will be installed on the thoroughfare for visitors.
But the highlight of the project is a new outdoor staging area which will be located at the corner of Chestnut Avenue. Designed by local architect Theresa Vergara, the stage will be used to host musical concerts and theatrical productions, with outdoor seating for up to 500 people.
Also, a portion of the city government's budget has been allocated to the restoration of buildings along Chestnut Avenue. Inspectors will evaluate the structures to determine what work needs to be carried out.
Proprietors will not be charged, but according to city tax assessor Peter Jones, property tax levels will increase in the district by 1 percent, starting next year.
With many proprietors of local businesses in the district reporting dropping sales figures and a decline in visitors, the commission hopes the project will help draw people back to the area. Evan Sweeten, chair of the planning committee, said, "We believe that this work will help revitalize the area and bring it back to its former glory."

Subject: Welcome!
Dear Ms. Norenski,
Thanks for your recent application to Fit Prime Gym. I'm so glad that you decided to follow my advice and sign up with us. As I've mentioned before, I am certain that your husband and your children will enjoy all the facilities and activities Fit Prime has to offer.
When we spoke, you said that you were interested in using the pool to swim laps. Well, I just want to let you know that the scheduled times for that activity have changed. The indoor swimming pool still opens at 8:00 a.m. every day. However, it now closes at 10:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday. On weekends, it closes at 9:15 p.m. And please remember to use only the pool's first two lanes for lap swimming.
I should mention that your daughter, Jennifer, qualifies to take part in our Student Plan. She can join this program for free while also remaining under your Family Plan program. The Student Plan comes with two introductory months of personal training sessions for new members.
Please ask her if she is interested so I can register her, if necessary.
Thanks again, and I hope to see you at the gym soon!
Best,
Jerry Hanover
Fit Prime Gym Management
