Annual Town Meeting Monday June 6, 2019

RECREATION COMMITTEE TO SPONSOR

ARTICLE 39

FEASIBILITY STUDY – 60 CEDAR STREET – RECREATION FACILITIES

To see if the Town will vote to transfer from Free Cash the sum of FORTY-NINE THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($49,000.00) to perform a study for the expansion of the existing recreation facility at 60 Cedar Street; or take any action relative thereto.

RECOMMENDED BY BOTH FINANCE COMMITTEE AND BOARD OF SELECTMAN
THAT THE TOWN VOTE TO APPROVE THE ARTICLE AS WRITTEN
 

Where is this?

• 60 Cedar St is the existing Sturbridge Recreation Area
• This location has Courts, Public Beach, Playground and Pavilions
• Extremely limited parking;   6-8 spots
• The study would view the underutilized woods across from the courts

What does this mean?

• The funds would be used to study the existing location to see boundaries, constraints, and general availability of the property
• The Recreation Committee’s hope is to eventually design (1) Multipurpose Field and (20+) Parking Spots
