OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION COMMITTEE
Tuesday February 9, 2010
Lancaster Town Hall
6:30 PM
The public is welcome.
The next meeting of the Open Space and Recreation Committee will be held on
Tuesday 2/9/10 at 6:30 PM at Lancaster Town Hall.
Our mission is to: ““To advance the goals, objectives, and implementing actions of the Town’s Open Space and Recreation Plan. To serve as a centralizing forum for coordination of this effort.” We have completed the draft Open Space and Recreation Planning document, which makes us both eligible for State funding and to be a key presentation document when conducting other fundraising. We are submitting the final draft to the State for approval.
The next key step in the process is to implement the goals of the Open Space and Recreation Plan, where are as follows:
- Protect the Town’s water supply; ensure the health of its ponds, streams, wetlands, and waterways.
- Conserve and protect our agricultural lands and farming viability.
- Protect our contiguous blocks of forestland.
- Enrich our recreational resources.
- Improve the connectivity of people and places in order to foster a sense of community.
- Improve Town-wide communications.
- Protect and enrich our open space and animal and plant life.
- Develop sustainable human and financial resources to support the goals of the Open Space and Recreation Plan.
- Integrate growth and development to preserve Lancaster’s rural feel, scenic vista, historic character, and natural landscape.
We will do this by creating sub-committees and recruiting volunteers for each of the above 9 goals. Please consider attending this meeting if you are interested in getting involved in the implementation phase, which is the fun part!
Please join us on Tuesday 2/9/10, at 6:30 PM at the Lancaster Town Hall for this Open Space and Recreation Plan meeting.
