Paul Petraska stated that he has some information that may be useful. Peter Golec requested that Petraska email this information to him and he will see that it gets to the correct parties. Sue Hammond noted that the Vermont Preservation Trust received donations for the Bridge and asked if the Town had received these. Cullenen will look into this.
