The town has updated its open space plan for the first time in 30 years, a period in which open space has increased significantly in the community, and is seeking comments on the document.
The town’s Conservation Commission will hold a public hearing at 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 30, via Zoom on the final draft of the open space conservation plan, which outlines priorities that include expanding “greenbelts” connecting open spaces, supporting resiliency efforts and protecting water quality, natural heritage resources and habitats for plants and wildlife.
