Stellar Community Letter of Intent Due Friday with Changes

The Culver Town Council and the Stellar Communities Committee have made some focus changes to the plans for this year’s application.

Town Manager Jonathan Leist told the council members Tuesday night that the committee revisited the proposed lighter, quicker and cheaper project. The committee has decided to go with five or six-foot letters that spell C-U-L-V-E-R rather than the historic story walk as that particular project. Utility Superintendent Bob Porter is researching the cost for this project, but Leist believes it will fall within the $5,000 requirement for that part of the application.

Council President Ginny Bess Munroe added that the previous lighter, quicker and cheaper selections including the historic story walk, recycled benches and water stations will be added to the larger Stellar application process as part of the bike trail proposal.

The letter of intent for the Stellar Communities Program is due Friday, April 28.

The committee has also planned a Stellar Fest event on June 17 in the park as part of the Farmer’s Market from 10 a.m. to noon. More information on that event will be released at a later date.
