What: The Conservation Commission's update of its open space plan for 2027, aligned with the Town's 2035 Plan of Conservation and tracked through action items.
Where it stands: A first-pass draft was circulated by the chair on 2026-11-02, adding a solid waste section. Commissioners will pick sections for review at the December meeting, with one member coordinating the final document.
Next: Section sign-up at the December meeting; the goal is to publish during 2027.
Details
Comments on the draft: names should not be attached to action items (they are tracked in a separate spreadsheet), and solid waste may deserve its own agenda item after one revision.
