   A friend told me yesterday that the house she rented was owned by a Norwood man who won't finish the exterior of the house to avoid his taxes from going up. Can we remove that from being a hindrance from improving our community's properties? Either a penalty equal to the amount the assessment might increase if not remedied after a period of time (no more than 12 months, to cover construction seasons); or, what may effectively be equal to a PILOT for homeowners (not paying the increase in taxes for making improvements) for a period of several years?

2. Phase 2 of the Community Trail Project

   I know the Village is having a hard time securing the resources to overhaul the footbridge; but, the second piece of that original project may still be possible with the help of our Alcoa neighbors. The idea was to create a trail from outer Main Street to the Intake, for biking, walking, running -- what a great, safe way to better connect our residents and visitors to the beautiful St. Lawrence River!

   43 Willow Street is an old Sunoco gas station. The property is destined to become a town liability after it is gained through non payment of taxes. There are multiple in ground fuel tanks at the location that will have to be removed as well as soil remediation. Who will pick up the tab for this ? The taxpayer ?

4. Holiday Decorating

   I think it would look really nice if all the trees in downtown were decorated with white lights during the Christmas season, like they do in canton.
