  • Planned Projects

    GPSIF plans to trim trees and update plantings on the Lake Shore islands north of Vernier Road. This is possible due to a generous donation from a resident. Also funded through this donation, the Beautification Committee will add spring bulbs to the islands.
    Other planned 2011 projects include planting trees in the fall and trimming trees on the Lake Shore islands south of Vernier Road.
