Bandshell and Bridge in Park
- UPDATE August 2022: DCED and DCNR grants have been awarded to Fleetwood Borough to assist in the rebuilding of both the bridge and bandshell.
- A bridge purchase was approved at Borough Council at the Feb 2022 meeting, and work is underway to get bids for install as the DEP permits have been approved. Timeline is spring 2023 for install.
- The new bandshell should be installed early spring 2023 due to very long lead times of some raw materials.
- New trees – Council approved transplanting 5 large trees into Fleetwood park near the bandshell seating area. These trees replace trees that had been removed over the years and the new trees were planted in March 2022.
