North Common bordered by S. Pleasant, Spring, Main streets & Boltwood Ave
The town is hosting a community forum this evening seeking input from the general public about ideas for improvements to the North Common, that historic square of green space nestled between Town Hall and downtown Merchants Row.
Three years ago town officials floated a half million dollar project to improve the highly visible public space but the state turned down the 70% funding match request, although giving the proposal high marks.
The town will again be applying to Parkland Acquisitions & Renovations for Communities grant program for the vast majority of the funding with the balance coming from Community Preservation Act funds.
What the hell for?
ReplyDeleteGood idea! May be green from above, but below it's really a mess. Needs a major redesign.

ReplyDeleteWhat is this post's title in reference to, anyway?
Substitute "Valley" for "Common."
