We Are Buckeye meetings continue
I attended the “We Are Buckeye” meeting Monday night at Jaskinsky Elementary School. Several persons involved themselves in the discussion and matched their visions for the Town of Buckeye with those that have been at prior meetings. Sometime in October the volunteers of “We Are Buckeye” will consolidate all of the material and bring to a town council meeting.
