East Windsor arts committee releases $15,000 for bus shelter materials

Committee also set aside up to $1,500 for a barn mural near the road race start

EAST WINDSOR - The town's Arts and Culture Committee voted Oct. 13 to release the remaining $15,000 for its bus shelter project to RiseUP to buy materials for installation, according to draft minutes posted on the town's Agenda Center. The minutes say the shelter will be finished soon.

The committee also voted to pay a muralist up to $1,500 to paint a flag on a barn at the start of the road race, after the barn's owner said they were open to it, the minutes show. Members approved buying zip ties to hang veterans banners on a fence for the Veterans Road Race.

The committee set its 2027 meetings for the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Members also talked about future ideas, including a Town Hall facade design showing the town's five villages and a possible dinosaur sculpture.

The minutes record the votes as approved without a tally. They are not official until the committee approves them at a later meeting.
