The Community Preservation Committee requested bonding of up to $2.8 million to complete Portside Community Park, with CPC chair Kelly Dionne saying grants will reduce the amount actually drawn; the finance committee recommended the article unanimously.

Horsley Witten presented 75% designs for the Portside Community Park (187 Upper County Road). The plan includes a central green, porous basketball court, ADA looped path, bioretention and 35 parking spaces. The board authorized applications to SNEP and the Community Biodiversity grant programs and directed the team to proceed toward bidding for a possible October funding request.
