ADAMS, Mass. — The Open Space and Recreation plan is nearly complete after months of development and community input.
After reviewing the 2019 plan, collecting feedback from a survey of 291 residents, holding three rounds of forums, and making multiple revisions, the OSRP committee narrowed this iteration of the plan to four main goals.
The plan acts as a “roadmap” for the town with goals and action items that preserve and improve lands and recreation assets, documents community priorities, and positions Adams for state grant eligibility, said Seth Jenkins, Berkshire Regional Planning Commission senior community planner at the third and final meeting on Earth Day last month at the Greylock Glen Outdoor Center.
The document also serves as an example for community members to show that they are always trying to make the town a better place and they are hearing them out.
