Committee eyes AARP grant to buy durable picnic tables and redesign town hall park
Summary
Cherry located an AARP grant that could fund picnic tables (about $1,000 each); the committee discussed vandal-resistant models and asked staff to consider a redesigned town hall park to improve grant prospects.
The Ludlow Recreation Committee discussed an AARP grant opportunity to fund picnic tables and park improvements. Nick Miele said Cherry "located a grant to help improve our parks" and noted that picnic tables typically cost around $1,000 each.
Committee member Frank Provance said he prefers a vandal-resistant "grate" style table. Nick asked members to begin thinking about a new design for the town hall park so Cherry can target future grants toward that vision. No final design or funding commitment was approved at the meeting; staff will continue to collect options and cost estimates.
The conversation was framed as preparatory work to make the town more competitive for grant awards and to improve the appearance and utility of the town center.
