The Schuyler County Partnership for Economic Development, alongside the Watkins Glen Downtown Revitalization Initiative Local Planning Committee and the Watkins Glen Chamber of Commerce, will host a groundbreaking ceremony at Clute Park on Wednesday to celebrate the final project under New York State’s DRI program and to introduce new ADA-compliant playground equipment to the park, enhancing accessibility for children of all abilities.

The 1:30 p.m. ceremony will be held at Clute Park on State Route 414 and will include remarks from local and state leaders, though the list of speakers is not yet finalized.
