What Was A Crumbling, 'Unsafe' Gazebo Is Now A Showpiece, Built By Town Workers

EAST HAVEN, CT — In his first term in office, East Haven Mayor Joseph A. Carfora said that he'd been left a "crumbling infrastructure" to contend with, including the gazebo on the Town Green: "The gazebo was cracking. It was not maintained and, in some areas, it was unsafe." He promised that it, among other major projects, including a complete overhaul of the town's ice rink and major repairs to the public works roof, were on his agenda.

Re-built from the ground up by the town's Public Works Department, the gazebo is a showpiece, and this Sunday on the Town Green, it will be celebrated.

"After a week of fun at Saint Pio’s Carnival, join us at 5:30 p.m. on the Town Green for great music and a special celebration of our newly constructed gazebo," East Haven Mayor Joseph A Carfora said. "We’re excited to celebrate this project with everyone who played a part, whether through their hands on work or by sharing the vision of beautifying our town."

After the celebration, the "ultimate" Bon Jovi Tribute Band Raise Your Hands takes the stage at 6 p.m.
