Watertown Officials Reject Aviary Renovation BidsA hefty price tag has put an end to plans to renovate a Thompson Park building. Watertown's city council voted Monday night to reject bids to fix the zoo's aviary. The bids had come in at roughly $1 million to renovated the 600-square-foot structure. The council plans to meet with the zoo board later this month to come up with a new plan. Mayor Jeff Graham said the structure might have to come down, "If we can reach an agreement on a suitable open-air pavilion to be used for their educational program, yes, it would," Graham said. "Just to retro-fit it into something else is just not panning out." The meeting between city council and the zoo's board of directors is set for July 30. |
