Supports save the Seed Store idea

Sherm and Sue Swank

Newton

We are so pleased with the idea to save the Newton Seed Store as a family zone place. What a wonderful idea — close to the library and downtown. Great save for the community!

Better yet, how about the city throwing in the old water building since the roof is now fixed? Make that public restrooms, offices and a kitchen/eating area. Perfect for both buildings and in the winter the inner courtyard could be used for basketball. To the north, a basketball court and a parking lot could be built.

By waterhill there used to be picnic tables, benches, horse shoe pits and lawn bowling — young and old had a lot of fun. Why can’t we have that again?

Put in geo-thermal and a boiler under floor heat and make it a place we can afford to enjoy. Main Street and grant money maybe could be found. This could be wonderful for race fans with families to enjoy family outings. A destination family zone! Please rally behind this.
