IMPORTANT MEETING ABOUT TRUMAN WATERFRONT PARK

The Key West City Commission holds a workshop meeting on Wednesday, May 16 at 6:00 PM to take public input on the development of the Truman Waterfront Park. The workshop is open to the public and is designed to allow the City Commission to take public input on how the 33 acres of the Truman Waterfront will be used.

Despite there having been insufficient public notice of this meeting and its location on the other side of the island, it is important -- vital -- that as many residents of the City, and especially of Bahama Village, attend the workshop.

If you're reading this, please come and bring your family, friends and neighbors.
