The Town of Rowe’s Open Space and Recreation Committee has completed a draft of the Climate-Resilient Open Space and Recreation Plan for Rowe and needs your input to ensure that the plan has captured the community’s vision and needs. We have worked with the Franklin Regional Council of Governments to create Rowe’s first Open Space and Recreation Plan—a tool through which Rowe plans for the future of its conservation and recreation resources and becomes eligible for certain Massachusetts conservation and recreation grants.
Your input is an essential part of the Town’s ongoing work to identify, prioritize, and develop projects that 1) meet the recreation needs of its residents, 2) protect our natural, scenic, historic, and recreation resources, 3) plan future land use, and 4) help make our community more resilient to a changing climate. Once approved by the state, the plan also makes the community eligible for MA Department of Conservation Services grant funds for conservation and recreation projects for up to seven years. Your participation will help us make sure our goals and priorities align with the community’s vision and needs for the future of open space, recreation, and climate resilience. The public forum will include a presentation and discussion on the highlights of the plan, the survey results, and draft goals, objectives, and actions that were shaped by the survey.
The draft plan will be posted here on November 1st and a public comment period will remain open until December 1st.
