Committee picks 12x15 trail sign and approves Dotty dedication
Summary
After reviewing costs and photo-resolution constraints, the committee voted to purchase a 12x15 trail sign (estimated $330) and discussed dedicating wording to honor longtime volunteer Dottie Athens.
The Town of Hubbardston Open Space Committee voted to proceed with a 12x15 trail sign for the Dotty Rock parking/trailhead, citing cost, material and photo-resolution considerations. Committee members reviewed vendor pricing and consensus favored the smaller rectangular sign that matches other existing trail markers.
Rick Jones outlined prior sign pricing: "they were $224 for the sign, plus $55 for doing the prepress," and recommended the smaller sign be used to preserve legibility and fit the available artwork. Bob Hatch said the committee wanted wording to acknowledge Dottie Athens' role in acquiring Malone Road and Mount Jefferson properties; members assigned Mel Green to confirm service dates for the inscription. A motion to purchase the 12x15 sign at an estimated cost of about $330 was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
