CPC Funds Approved for Open Space Documentation and Library Accessibility

Key Points

  • $11,225 approved for documentation of three town parks
  • $25,000 allocated for an ADA-compliant door at the library
  • CPC funds will continue to cover a 10-year bond payment for prior projects

Article 18 secured funding for several projects recommended by the Community Preservation Committee (CPC). Tom Reirden, Chair of the CPC, presented a $11,225 request for baseline documentation at Salerno Woodlands, Wright Park, and Ingram Park. This documentation is a requirement for preserving the town's open spaces and ensuring they are managed according to conservation standards.

Additionally, the article allocated $25,000 for the installation of an ADA-compliant door at the Paul Pratt Memorial Library. This project aims to improve accessibility for all residents visiting the facility. Reirden also clarified for resident Leland Jenkins that a $257,750 bond payment included in the article is part of an existing 10-year bond obligation for a prior CPC project.

Motion: To approve the CPC project fundings.

Vote: Passed Unanimously
