WORTHINGTON – Residents and surrounding community members are invited to provide input on open space conservation and recreation opportunities in Worthington on Tuesday, September 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the Worthington Town Hall. The meeting will include an overview of the Open Space and Recreation Plan update, and a discussion about conservation and recreation goals and priorities over the next seven years.
Public input is an essential step in the plan update. Town staff and volunteers and PVPC staff will be available to answer questions and respond to input about the plan and planning process. Refreshments will be provided.
The Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP) is being completed by the Town with assistance from the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission. Once the OSRP is approved by the Massachusetts Division of Conservation Services (DCS), the Town will be eligible to apply for DCS grant funding for the next seven years.
The OSRP is a tool through which the community plans for the future of its conservation and recreation resources. Public input and community needs will shape the Action Plan, which determines the actions the town will take. The previous 2006 Worthington OSRP can be viewed at: https://worthington-ma.us/documents-bylaws/.
