WHATELY — Town officials and the Franklin Regional Council of Governments (FRCOG) will hold a public forum on Tuesday to review the Open Space and Recreation Plan.
Members of the public and regional stakeholders are welcome to attend the virtual meeting at 6 p.m., during which the draft Open Space and Recreation Plan will be presented for discussion.
An Open Space and Recreation Plan contains conservation and recreation goals for the town; includes an inventory of cultural, natural and recreational resources; identifies open space and recreation needs; and outlines a seven-year action plan with specific recommendations, according to a FRCOG press release.
The last Whately Open Space and Recreation Plan was completed in 2006, the release states. Up-to-date plans allow the town to apply for state grants for land conservation and recreation facility improvements.
