In it for the long-term
Work at Main Street Beach & Park officially ended on Friday. Provided photo/SCOTT DOMMIN. In Vermilion, they're celebrating the new and improved downtown beach. Failure can be a lonely place, but with success comes credit to many for a job well done. Since 2006, the Western Reserve Land Conservancy, Vermilion's city government and the city's parks and recreation department along with dozens of public and private supporters have collaborated to transform Main Street Beach & Park. In 2013, another milestone occurred: The city purchased the former Inland Seas Museum property through funds raised from the public and grants. Erie MetroParks, meanwhile, also contributed by protecting and improving this waterfront asset. The Erie County-based park district created what’s known as Wakefield MetroPark, a 1.6-acre park in place of the former Wakefield Mansion. No flying by night here. Officials across a wide spectrum showed, in this instance, that collaboration and persistence pay off. Congratulations to everyone who helped make it happen.
