Commission assigns photo collection, wants captions and credits in town plan
Summary
Commissioners asked for newer photos (playground, Young's Dairy Farm, Frog Rock/Table Rock), discussed captioning and photographer credit, and proposed a town call for images for inclusion in the plan.
Several members focused on images and visual materials, saying many photos in the draft are outdated and should be replaced with recent pictures of local landmarks. Suggestions included using an image of Young's Dairy Farm, the new playground, Frog Rock and Table Rock as welcome-page or interior images.
The commission recommended captioning photos with location, date and photographer credit when possible. One member volunteered to assemble photos from personal archives and the historic society; another suggested opening a town-wide call for images with a simple submission email to the town office to gather more options. Members also discussed including an inclusion statement and a short historical summary listing accomplishments "over the years" rather than fixed calendar years.
The commission agreed to wait until members can compile suggested photos and then reassign images at a future meeting; staff will prepare guidance about photo credit and a short public solicitation of images for the planning office to manage.
