VOTE APRIL 7!

This site has been set up to inform Westoners of opportunities to perfect Weston! These are 'big picture' improvement IDEAS, so please view them with that in mind.

We all know that there are other necessary and ordinary items that bog down the daily functions of a city, like repaving roads, a new water tower, and dog ordinances, etc...

This is an opportunity for us to think about and discuss the projects that would make Weston extra-ordinary!!!

- 'Port of Weston' Park -



Did you know that the Corps of Engineers is 'onboard with and ready to fund' a project that would open back up a chute of the Missouri River, following the same path that the river flowed back in Weston's river port days?

It's true!!! And if the 'Return of the River' project happened, a park like this could be the next project for the Weston Park Board! What a great amenity for the town. Riverside trails, picnics, biking, canoe launching, etc.!!! wow!

various recreational activities!

I think the ideas you have presented are great. There is so much unusual history in Weston that it would be a shame not to share it with the world. Besides, when we build unique and unusual things for people to come and see, they spend money here, and that works for everyone. Gary Enright - 534 Summerset Drive - Weston
