Waterfront Park work under way By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY „ It looks like MiddleburyÍ s Marble Works Riverfront Park will be completed on schedule. After a recent rain delay, work was well underway on the new park last week. The construction project began in May. The effort to establish the new park started in 2007 when several town officials participated in a workshop which introduced member to new ideas about how to revitalize, and capitalize upon, neglected downtown natural resources. Last week work, laying out a walking path as well as the setting of a low, meandering wall of fossiliferous Panton reef limestone, was underway. Grass seed, protective straw matting, and hedges along the steep slope facing the Otter Creek waterfalls will be planted this week. ñ Otter Creek, with the falls, is the townÍ s greatest natural asset,î Nancy Malcolm of the Middlebury Riverfront Committee said last month. ñ We are putting in pathways, a rose hedge, amphitheater-like seating, trees, native plantings and a rain garden. There will be historical replica towers„ from the days of the marble industry„ with lighting and interpretive signs.î To get the project underway, the Marble Works Partnership provided the town with a needed easement. Partnership officials then agreed to take on the task of regular park maintenance. The public is welcome to continue its support of the park through donations. To support the project, direct tax-deductible donations may be made to the Riverfront Project, in care of the Town of Middlebury, 94 Main St., Middlebury 05753.
