Summary

The March township digest covers St. James and Peaine meetings in February 2003. Actions and discussions included airport status, the yacht dock, BITA appointments, a location for the World Trade Center artifact, a Peaine Township website, airport development, beaver-flooded trails, summer-tax collection compensation, and revised township officer salaries.

Evidence limits

This is a selected newspaper digest and not the complete minutes or final status of every proposal.

Open questions

  • Which trails were reported as beaver-flooded, and were they later cleared or rerouted?
  • Where was the World Trade Center artifact ultimately located?

If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
