Welcome to the Cannon Square Project Page of the SVIA
  The above rendering was developed by Cummin Associates after hearing feedback from a a group of Borough citizens who objected to their first plan shown below. This rendering was presented in a special public meeting at the Borough Firehouse on Saturday, July 18, 2009, at 9 AM.
 A Rendering by Cummin Associates - Prepared August 2008
 See STATUS page for the latest project information.
The above rendering features four American Princeton Elms at about six years after the restoration project is complete. At maturity, they will provide a high canopy with no interference with view lanes from surrounding homes. The new plan also features a more open square in keeping with the history of this important place. The ground will be more level, there will be no fence and it will be accessible from all four sides.
