Committee discusses outdoor summer movies and potential ARPA funding
Summary
At its June 16 meeting, the Ludlow Recreation Committee discussed staging outdoor summer movies and using roughly $35,000 in remaining ARPA funds to cover equipment and event costs, while noting the town's budget cycle does not reopen until November.
The Ludlow Recreation Committee on June 16 discussed plans for outdoor summer movies and whether to use federal ARPA funds to pay for equipment or event expenses. Pat Gray asked if movies would return this summer; Director Nick Miele said past screenings were hosted at Dorsey by the Farmers Market and earlier by Benson's and that a projector purchase could be covered if ARPA funds remain after other priorities.
Committee members noted timing and budget constraints. Scott Baitz reminded members that the municipal budget cycle does not start until November, and John Murphy asked whether the item could be placed in the budget. Miele said the town currently has "around $35,000" in ARPA funds, primarily earmarked for a potential ice-skating rink and storage, and that a projector would only be purchased from leftover funds.
