Groton Beautification Committee - 4/2/26

The Groton Beautification Committee held a meeting on April 2, 2026, primarily discussing ongoing and upcoming beautification projects within the town. Key procurement-related topics included the potential purchase of plants and stones for various garden areas, with a current budget of approximately $3,899 available for these expenses. The committee also deliberated on the installation of a fence around a recently unveiled bronze baseball pitcher statue, considering cost estimates and responsibility for payment, ultimately deciding to obtain a price quote before making a funding decision. Additionally, the committee addressed coordination with town departments regarding permissions and maintenance responsibilities, as well as planning for a presentation to the town council to showcase their work and request continued financial support. No formal votes on expenditures were recorded, but there was a motion to not pay for the fence without further information. The meeting concluded with plans to finalize project details and organize volunteer efforts for planting activities.
