The Theodore Luddington Memorial Park is located between the Turner Free Library and the Randolph Central Fire Station. Some of the existing materials will be re-used and re-worked to create an ADA accessible walkway from Memorial Parkway to Turner Lane. This will enhance pedestrian safety and allow for the creation of a patio area with benches and table games for residents of all ages to enjoy.

The playground has fallen in disrepair and not been updated since it was used as a school. The existing mulch will be removed and replaced throughout the area; the sand will be removed and new sand put down in the play area; some areas of the play structures will be sanded and repainted to remove rust; new swings will be purchased and installed.

To update and recodify the Town Zoning Bylaws. Also, to place them on the Town’s website.

Town Hall is desperately in need of repairs. Trim around the windows and doors will be repaired when possible, with new windows and steel doors being installed. There is also concrete work needed to the facade of the building. The front deck had been repaired and painted previously and it is now in need of replacement. Composite decking will be used to help with maintenance. The clock and related parts including lighting needs complete replacement to restore the clock to proper working order again.

The Town Planner provides assistance to the CPC, Town Manager and Planning Board in support of the strategic goals of the Town Council through local and regional efforts. They manage the community and economic development efforts of the Town through a wide range of coordination and cooperation with departments, citizens, outside agencies, and other stakeholders. The Planner is responsible for supporting the activities of the Planning Board, the Community Preservation Committee and the Economic Development and Strategic Planning Committees of the Town Council.

The Trustees of the Turner Free Library will replace the leaking “ceiling to floor” windows on the main floor on the Northeast side of the library. The single pane windows overlook the Veteran’s Memorial at the intersection of North Main Street and Memorial Parkway originally installed in 1966. It is expected that the Library will see significant energy savings on heating and cooling costs with the energy efficient windows and will weatherproof the Library as well, preserving the building integrity and ensure it continues to serve residents of all ages for years to come.

The Veterans and Working Families housing is a first time home buyers program designed to help families purchase single family homes in Randolph in order to stabilize and reinvest in the Town’s housing stock. All single family homes are eligible for the program; however, the program has increased financial incentives for foreclosed single family homes either already foreclosed upon or in the process of being foreclosed. Short sale homes also have increased financial incentives in order to prevent the home from falling into foreclosure.

This is a groundbreaking program in Massachusetts in that it targets families that may have a past or present connection to the Town of Randolph and who make at least 80 percent of median family income up to 100 percent of median family income according to the most recently published Department of Housing Urban Development guidelines. These families are the forgotten folks who are struggling to have a piece of the American Dream. Applicants will be entered into a weighted random lottery for those who meet program requirements. It is the Town’s expectation that people who participate in the program will make improvements to foreclosed or short sale homes that have fallen into disrepair and bring the home back to community standards in order to stabilize a neighborhood.

Lighting of the war memorials in front of Town Hall and the ones in Crawford Sq. so residents can experience the history and remember those who have fallen, at times later in the day. Lighting will also be added to the flag poles, so the Town is following proper flag etiquette.
