The town’s Conservation and Recreation departments are asking residents to complete a survey to help develop open space and recreation goals and objectives for the next seven years. The results of the survey will be used by the town to develop its Open Space and Recreation Plan, required by the state Division of Conservation Services (DCS) to be updated every seven years. Among other purposes, the DCS uses these community plans to determine eligibility for its grant programs. To take the survey, please go to the Survey.
