Fraser may grow its artistic endeavors to house some canine companions this summer.<\/p>\n

Sky-Hi News approached the Fraser Board of Trustees with a proposal to host a large-scale public art event called \u201cCanine Cabins.\u201d The publisher of Sky-Hi, Emma Trainor, explained how the project could follow the excitement of this year\u2019s Fraser Mural Festival.<\/p>\n

Local artists and contractors would build 15-20 doghouses that would be on display for two weeks in the Mural Park before being auctioned off online. Proceeds would go to support a local pet charity.<\/p>\n

Trainor asked for $15,000 from the town to sponsor the project and be named the host community. Town manager Jeff Durbin suggested the money could come from the general fund.<\/p>\n

Mayor Philip Vandernail asked if the name of the event could be changed to tie in the town further, such as \u201cFraser\u2019s In The Dog House.\u201d <\/p>\n

Mayor Pro-Tem Eileen Waldow requested that a portion of the funds raised go to the Fraser Center for the Creative Arts and the board agreed.<\/p>\n

The board unanimously approved a motion to move forward with the Canine Cabins including certain changes like a possible name change and at least 50% of funds going toward the creative arts center.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The board continued discussions on the Fraser Deed Restriction Program<\/a> and the Fraser Housing Authority. The new program, which the board is working on in parallel with Winter Park, would have the town buy a deed restriction from a property owner limiting who could live there to year-round residents working in the community.<\/p>\n

Durbin noted the town needs to work on definitions of employment and residence and added the idea had already seen a lot of interest. Fraser\u2019s Economic Development Advisory Committee has also supported the idea of serving as the Fraser Housing Authority. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
