Letter: CPA helping give fresh start to Historic Head

Posted

To the editor:

The  lead article last week "Fresh start for Historic Head" was very much appreciated.  

In addition, the Westport Community Preservation Committee would like to note the contribution of $121,000 in CPA funding as the town's contribution to this excellent project.  $32,000 was used to finance the beginning of the process of repair — for the clean up of the oil pollution at the Head and to start the rebuilding of the stone walls. 

Another $89,000 of CPA funds has been approved by Town Meeting, coupled with administrative funding, to preserve other portions of the walls.  We would like to commend the Westport Landing Commission which has developed and supervised these projects to do.

Betty Slade,

Vice-Chair, Community Preservation Committee

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
