With gleaming boats in the background and blue skies above, town officials celebrated the reopening of the Town Marina and Lake Drive Park Thursday afternoon.

A dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony at the park drew more than 150 guests, including town officials and staff, residents, local government officials and project partners.

Work on both projects was completed Nov. 1, and town officials thanked all who were involved in their conception, design, funding and construction before Town Council members gathered to cut a ceremonial red ribbon.
