Summary

Newton received a $32,500 RAPZ grant to build an asphalt walking path at Clarke Park. Detailed planning was postponed because the council’s liaison to the project was not in attendance.

The town received notice of a RAPZ (Recreation, Arts, Parks and Zoos) grant award of $32,500 to construct an asphalt walking path at Clarke Park.

The council acknowledged the award but decided to postpone substantive planning and next-step discussion because Roland Griffin—the council’s project contact—was not present. The minutes record the grant amount and the council’s decision to defer detailed planning until Griffin can participate.

No procurement, timeline or final design decisions were recorded in the minutes; those details will be set at a future meeting when project leadership is in attendance.
