Mr. Harris stated we are at the point we need to decide how much will be done and how we are going to do it.

Supervisor Ross stated he feels the Library has taken the initative and offered some fund- ing and that Paul D. Camp Community College has shown an interest in the build- ing and can bring. something to the County in the form of higher education for County citizens. Supervisor Ross said Parks and Recreation particiapte in the outdoor activities at the old Smithfield High School, such as soccer, nature trails, etc. and feels the facilities used by the Parks and Recreation should be up-graded to meet their needs. Florine Moore, Smithfield Mayor, stated the Town had approved funding for the library renovation, renovation of the upstairs area for Paul D. Camp Com- munity College and painting and repair of the gym floor. Mrs. Moore stated they left the rest of the renovation of the gym to the discretion of the County.
