My name is Paul Morello and I have been a resident of Scotch Plains for over 45 years. I am one of the minority that voted for the improvemements at Brookside Park. I live directly in the area and I feel that Scotch Plains needs a facility like this and that it would improve property values for everyone in town. I say this because I have had the opportunity to visit other town facilities to either play sports myself or watch my grandkids play. The facilities in these towns put us to shame.
