It's Official! CR210 To Have New Trees Planted in Median! (by Kevin DelVecchio, published Saturday, 22 May 2010 20:07)
With nearly 2 years in the planning stages and working with our partners in the County
Administration and Board of Directors, 210 Community Alliance is pleased to announce a
long-awaited community project is about to commence! 

Since our inception, a primary goal of 210CA has been to enhance the median strip of
County Road 210 West with various trees and plants.  Many people working within our
Community Alliance have put in long hours of meticulous planning, research and meetings
with our County Administration partners.  The result, an overall plan to beautify our
medians from Sampson Way (previously Leo Maquire Road) to South Hampton.  The project was
commenced with the overall idea that the medians present an opportunity to enhance our
corridor and welcome visitors to our area with a unified look that enhances our
environment.  We look forward to the project starting on approximately May 24th and
lasting about 60 days.

A Big THANK YOU goes out to all those who have made this project the success that we know
it will be - to beautify and enhance our way of life on County Road 210 West.
