Groton Athletic Fields Task Force - 3/26/26

The Groton Athletic Fields Task Force met on March 26, 2026, to discuss ongoing and upcoming activities related to athletic field improvements in Groton. Key procurement-related topics included updates on phase one of the athletic fields project, which is managed through the town's public works department responsible for contracts and construction oversight. The task force discussed the need to collect updated field usage data to support future funding requests and to advocate for a potential second referendum to secure additional funding for phase two projects, including improvements at Claude Chester. The group emphasized the importance of public outreach and engagement with the town council to advance the referendum and related capital projects. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were announced during this meeting, but the task force is monitoring design and construction timelines and preparing for upcoming public meetings and council decisions that will impact procurement and project funding.
