Committee Ramps Up Signage Plans Amid Rotary Club Leadership Changes

The Southborough Trails Committee is making strides toward enhancing local trail signage, a key initiative discussed during their recent meeting on July 17, 2025. Committee members emphasized the urgency of moving forward with the signage project, as time is of the essence.

Co-president Will, who had previously volunteered to assist in finding a map resource, noted that his recent commitments with the Rotary Club have limited his availability. Despite this, the committee is determined to keep the project on track. Melinda, another committee member, indicated that draft text for the signs will be available for review at the next meeting, ensuring progress continues.

A significant point raised during the meeting was the potential collaboration with the historical society or commission. Grant Farrington had inquired whether the committee would seek their input on the historical content to be included on the signs. Melinda acknowledged that outreach to these organizations had not yet occurred, highlighting an opportunity for further engagement to enrich the signage project.

As the committee prepares for its next steps, the focus remains on finalizing the signage details and incorporating historical insights, which could enhance the community's connection to its trails. The upcoming meeting promises to be crucial for advancing this initiative, with the committee eager to finalize plans and move forward.
