Wilmington Seeking Feedback On Open Space And Recreation Plan

WILMINGTON, MA — Wilmington is seeking public feedback on a draft update of the town's Open Space and Recreation Plan.

The Open Space Committee recently updated its plan following six public meetings. It features an inventor of current open spaces, updates to goals and objectives and a list of action items for the next five years.

The draft plan is available here.

Based on surveys over the last two years, the committee believes there is a need for more awareness of existing open space as well as an interest in trials.

Anyone with comments on the plan should submit them to the Department of Planning and Conservation or email them to vgingrich@wilmingtonma.gov by July 19.

After the public comment period, the plan will be submitted to the state for review and approval. An approved plan would make the town open for state and federal open space and trail grants.

Anyone with questions should contact the Department of Planning and Conservation at 978-658-8238.
