Town Council approves Interstate Outdoor's $7000 donation for recreation programming

In a recent Braintree Town Council meeting, officials discussed the acceptance of a $7,000 donation from Interstate Outdoor, aimed at supporting the town's recreation programs. This funding is part of a community host agreement established when digital billboards were installed on Wood Road, which includes annual contributions to benefit local initiatives.

The donation will specifically help offset costs for residents who may struggle to afford participation in recreational activities. This initiative reflects the council's commitment to making community programs accessible to all residents, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent participation in local events and activities.

Council members expressed their support for the donation, with questions raised about the terms of the agreement. It was confirmed that both billboard agreements involve annual contributions, although the specifics may vary. The council plans to move forward with the acceptance of this donation, highlighting the importance of community partnerships in enhancing local services.

This decision aligns with broader goals of fostering inclusivity and support within the community, as the council continues to seek ways to enhance the quality of life for Braintree residents.
