A news release issued by the First Selectman's Office:

Westport Parks and Recreation Commission Chairman Charlie Haberstroh has announced that the Parks and Recreation Commission will hold a public meeting on Monday July 7, to review the draft master plan developed by the Compo Beach Site Improvement Committee.

“The Commission looks forward to an opportunity to discuss the plan and to receive public input regarding the recommendations” said Haberstroh. “Compo Beach is one of the Town of Westport’s crown jewels and the future plans for Compo Beach are important to all Westporters.”

First Selectman Jim Marpe stated, “I would like to thank the Committee for its hard work to date in getting the draft plan to this point.” Marpe added, “There has been a lot of good give and take in the drafting process.

The public has made their views heard on many topics and a number of constructive adjustments and modifications have been made to the plan since the initial draft reflecting some of those concerns.”

Furthermore, the Selectman emphasized, ”this is not the end of the process and the plan is still a ‘draft’ document subject to further change and revision based on the review of the Parks and Recreation Commission and additional input from the public. I encourage all interested citizens to attend the meeting and continue to provide suggestions and feedback.”

The meeting will take place in the Town Hall Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. and will be televised on channel 79 (Cablevison), channel 99 (AT&T) and available by video stream at http://www.westportct.gov.
