Harbor Master spoke about the new Maritime Center. All funds were raised in the town - no tax money. Jamie Gilmore's company donated the floors. They are now working on a Marine Park and Walking Trails. South Shore Vocational School built the new center. Many people from Scituate helped with the construction. Sailing programs will be held in the Center. The public can rent the center for private events.. The town offer sailing programs to 350 children each summer. Jill West, Assistant to the Harbor Master showed a wonderful slide show on Scituate and the new Maritime Center.
Respectfully submitted,
