HARDWICK – The town of Hardwick was the recipient of one of the 26 Land Use Planning Assistance Grants awarded across the state.
During the Board of Selectmen meeting on Sept. 26, Town Administrator Nicole Parker provided an update on the Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP).
She explained that the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission has been working with the town to update their OSRP, as they are interested in receiving grants for park equipment and recreation.
On the day of the meeting, Parker said they received a letter from the state’s Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs to inform the town that they would receive a grant in the amount of $10,875.
Parker asked the board to accept this grant, to which they unanimously approved.
