Uxbridge 300th committee adopts mission, colors and orders banners
Summary
The Town of Uxbridge 300th Anniversary Committee approved a mission statement, selected 'Uxbridge Blue' and orange as primary colors, and authorized two 6x12 banners for town placement while arranging permissions for bridge installations.
The Uxbridge 300th Anniversary Committee voted on Aug. 6 to adopt a mission statement, approve a color scheme and begin ordering promotional banners as the town moves into the active phase of its tricentennial planning.
Amanda, chair of the committee, led the meeting and read the mission statement approved by members: "As we commemorate 300 years of history, the Uxbridge 300th Anniversary Committee is dedicated to honoring our rich heritage, celebrating the heart of our community, and embracing the sense of home that unites generations." The motion to accept the mission passed by voice vote.
Committee members debated branding options and settled on a palette anchored by the locally historic "Uxbridge Blue," with orange as a complementary color and black used primarily for outlines. A member moved to accept the colors and the motion carried after a second and a voice vote.
On signage, the committee approved ordering two 6‑by‑12 banners from local vendor Sean Matthews, with design changes that will temporarily include the town seal (with permission from the town clerk) and a Farnham House outline in place of the previous house icon. Members discussed placement on the railroad bridge and on common poles; committee leaders noted permissions from the railroad, DPW and select board will be required before final installation.
Treasurer provided a brief account update ahead of the banner purchase and said funds would be prepared once the vendor confirms payment preferences. The committee also discussed broader distribution plans for the final logo and save‑the‑date materials to schools, libraries and local newspapers to kick off community outreach.
The committee recorded motions and prompt votes for the mission, colors and banner purchases; copies of the approved design will be distributed to subcommittees and the town clerk for next‑stage approvals.
