Whitman OSRP Implementation Committee - April 30, 2026 Meeting.

The Whitman Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP) Implementation Committee met on April 30, 2026, to discuss ongoing and new initiatives related to town open space and recreational facilities. Key procurement-related topics included potential funding through a MassDOT service for culvert assessments, and the exploration of an ADA municipal improvement grant program offering up to $250,000 with no match requirement to support accessibility planning and improvements in public parks and facilities. The committee also discussed organizing community cleanup events, potential donations from local businesses like Stop & Shop, and the feasibility of various town-owned parcels for recreational development such as dog parks and skate parks. They reviewed land use tables to identify suitable sites for recreation and discussed coordinating with town departments and stakeholders for grant applications and project prioritization. No formal contract awards or vendor selections were made during this meeting, but action items include pursuing grant applications and site visits for potential projects.
