Recreation Facilities in Waterstone and at Gold Park (Hillsborough) <br />Mayor Phelps said that the Town of Hillsborough's Planning Director Margaret Hauth will <br />address this item because the Town has looked at Waterstone and the prospect of owning <br />recreational facilities. <br />Margaret Hauth said that the Board of County Commissioners had said years ago that if the <br />Town Board provided space for recreational activities, then the County would provide recreation <br />programming in that space. She wanted to see if the offer was still on the table. <br />Chair Jacobs said that he gives regrets from Commissioner Gordon, who had a conflict and <br />Commissioner Brown, who had a car breakdown this evening.
