From the meeting
At its August 29, 2026 meeting the Board discussed a proposal for a fire tower at Emery Park to turn the area into a hiking destination. The board raised liability concerns, so the idea was still at the concept stage and no procurement decision was made. The town also noted it had previously applied for a State Grant for trail improvements, which may shape future capital work around the park.
