Key Decision Impacts Mystic River Boathouse Park Construction Timeline

Mystic River Boathouse Park has been in the works for nearly a decade. The Finance Board recently weighed in on the project.

MYSTIC, CT — The Mystic River Boathouse Park project passed a significant hurdle recently when the Stonington Board of Finance approved funding, according to The Westerly Sun.
