Lanesborough Open Space and Recreation Plan Survey

LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — The town of Lanesborough is seeking input on its upcoming Open Space and Recreation Plan.

The town's Open Space and Recreation Plan Advisory Committee is asking the public to complete a 20-question survey about the community's outdoor recreation and conservation priorities, needs, and desires. The survey is open to both residents and visitors until Dec. 12.

The survey is on the town's website and at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LanesboroughOSRP. Paper copies are also available at the library and at town hall.

The responses will inform the committee's development of policies and strategies that the town and local partners will implement during the next 10 years to achieve the community's open space and recreation goals. Additionally, the town's updated Open Space and Recreation Plan will make the town eligible for state funding to improve its recreational facilities and protect natural resources.

For more information, contact Committee Chair Stacy Parsons at lanesboroughconservation@gmail.com and/or Berkshire Regional Planning Commission Community Planner Andrew McKeever at amckeever@berkshireplanning.org.
