CPA Projects – Detailed Report

The Town of Billerica voted at Spring 2018 Town Meeting to purchase 8 Carter Avenue and an adjoining parcel located on the Concord River in the care and custody of the Conservation Commission. Those parcels were for preservation, restoration and passive recreation purposes. The Commission would like to request funding to implement the goals of Town Meeting by designing and constructing a multi-use project that could include picnic tables, canoe/kayak access, small parking lot for visitors, and a memorial pollinator (butterfly) garden honoring  Katie Durand, former Conservation Assistant. This project will use CPA funding to maximize the land already owned by the Town and aligns well with the goals outlined in the CPC Plan and Town’s Open Space and Recreation Plan.
