The CDBO would once again like to extend a sincere thank you to the 2009 Firework Sponsors. With the generous donations of these sponsors we are able to end our day with a fantastic fireworks display.

Construction Acitivity Continues in Town ....

Anyone visiting the Carnduff Ball Park recently has seen first hand the construction activity happening on the west side of town. The Town of Carnduff has committed to the construction of 6th Street West which will see twelve residential lot's that will look onto the Carnduff Ball Park. The current construction activity includes the installation of the water and sewer utilities. For more information on these lot's, please contact the Town Hall at 482-3300.

Phase 1 of New Pool Near Completion

Work to Phase 1 of the new swimming pool is near completion. Phase 1 included the construction of a new paddling/toddlers pool. It is complete with some fun water games, etc. This past Friday saw the posts for the fence installed with a work bee to finish the remainder of the fence and decking set to take place this week. With any luck, it should be "open for business" in the next week! This will be a welcomed addition for many young toddlers as well as their parents. Congratulations to the fundraising group for their hard work.

Phase 2 which includes the reconstruction of the main pool area is in the fundraising stages. Stay tuned for more fundraisers as details unfold!
