Recreation Commission and the School Committee and has secured permits
from the Conservation Commission and the Zoning Board.
As the project will occur on town-owned land and will ultimately be owned by
the Town of Canton, it must be bid as a town project and be administered by the
appropriate town department.

result in a more streamlined and efficient approach to soliciting public input.
CCPC Vote: Recommend to Town Meeting for funding in the amount of $150,000
