BERLIN, MD — — Purnell B. Jarvis, Jr., candidate for Mayor of Berlin, announced today that he has tabled a low cost comprehensive plan to transform Heron Park into the Heron Park Hunting and Cultural Activities Preserve — a working landscape that puts the town's underused public acreage back in use for hunters, families, and students.

The proposal follows years of committee meetings, council workshops, and Zack hanging out with Billy Boberson instead of answering questions about why the town keeps losing money on a disastrous investment.

"This is the clearest and best thought out plan ever tabled for Heron Park," said Jarvis. "and me and Frederick did it all by ourselves for free. The new Preserve has four duck blinds, a deer stand, a turkey blind, a game cleaning station, a pistol range, and the new Shorebilly University Extension Center for education and training. And it all comes in under the cost of the mayor's new desk and office chair. This plan produces supper, preserves culture, and puts public assets to use."

Local boys Lem and Steve will be hired to make the new facilities, and now they'll be able to make their mortgage payments rather than moving to Powellville, all while they help preserve hunting traditions and put supper on the table for local families. Finding the money was easy. All Purnell will do is take the cash that the Economic Development Office planned to spend on out of town artists to make things that have nothing to do with Berlin and no place uptown for festivals that nobody asked for and nobody really needs.

The full interpretive site plan is available at heron-park-hunting-preserve-map.pdf.

"While the Town leadership has spent over a decade in endless meetings and producing eyesores, cleanup invoices, consultant reports, environmental disasters, financial losses, and 1000 missed opportunities at Heron Park, this low-cost plan produces supper and education, and employment for local people."

The campaign notes that boundaries, blinds, and berm are illustrative.
