Due to space issues and availability, the commission unanimously denied this request. HOMMOCKS PARK CAMP UPDATE: There is more construction taking place in the back of the rink than we had expected. This has created an issue with holding camp in the back section of the ice rink. Honeywell has reached out to the school district to barter for additional space within the Hommocks School. The school district has agreed to provide two additional large classrooms for the first three weeks of camp only. This will mean that half way through the camp we will need to re-locate back to the rink. HOMMOCKS PARK ICE RINK UPDATE: At this time, Honeywell is 2 weeks behind schedule. BBS hasn't fully submitted all the plans as of yet. All the mechanicals and dasherboards have been removed. The front men's and women's restrooms are being worked on by Rob and his staff.
