A draft of Scarborough’s new Open Space Plan will be available later this month for residents to review and provide input.
The plan, developed by the town’s Ad-Hoc Open Space Committee is intended to help guide and prioritize land conservation efforts in town.
This summer, the committee held community workshops and staffed a table at community events to gain input from residents on what ought to be included in the. Community members will now be invited to provide feedback on a draft of the plan before it is formally presented to the Town Council in 2025.
