Recreation committee asked to review Merrimack Valley Planning's open-space action plan
Committee members reported their prior involvement with an open-space action plan led by Merrimack Valley Planning and said the plan is now being distributed to committees for review. The Chair noted this is an action plan with goals and recommended the recreation committee read the draft and flag items it wants to endorse or adjust.

Members emphasized that the plan lists future goals rather than completed items and that review by recreation could help ensure town-owned properties and waterfront access proposals reflect local recreation priorities. The committee agreed to read the distributed materials and submit any comments to staff for consolidation and later presentation to the select board.
