Open Space & Recreation Plan 2020

The Open Space Committee has completed a draft update of the Town's Open Space and Recreation Plan. The plan describes the town's natural resources, provides an inventory of open space and recreational facilities, sets goals, and provides an action plan for the next 7 years. 

Please provide any written comments on the Plan by email or mail by June 5, 2020 to

Town Hall Room 202
