Shrewsbury Open Space and Recreation Plan Survey II |
1. Shrewsbury Open Space & Recreation Plan Resident Survey (2011-2012)
| 12% |
The Town of Shrewsbury is in the process of updating its Open Space and Recreation Plan. This Plan is necessary to qualify for State reimbursement programs for acquisition and protection of important open space. This survey is being conducted in order to understand the needs and concerns of residents of Shrewsbury regarding its open space and recreational facilities.
"Open Space" in this survey is defined as "public and privately-owned undeveloped lands which are important for a variety of reasons, including recreation, conservation, water resource protection, agriculture, forestry, or simply because of their scenic qualities and their contribution to the overall character of the town." Faced with significant growth now and in the future, open space planning will help us preserve open space while allowing development to occur that is consistent with the character of the Town.
A public forum will be held in March 2012 to share the survey results and gather additional comments. We hope you will join us and listen to the thoughts of other residents, take a look at the draft plan and provide additional comment. For now, please take a few minutes to answer the following survey questions.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
The Shrewsbury Open Space and Recreation Plan Committee
