Hook facts present and cited (might take a little interpretation to parse "president of the board of trustees" as "town president" but this seems only a phrasing difference and not a factual one). Article new enough, long enough, neutral. More than adequately sourced. Surprised we don't have a Commons image of Grand Avenue for use in article or hook but that's merely an observation and not an objection. Looks good to go for me.
