Director John Mason reported that Nash Pond work at Nonotuck Park Point has been awarded and contractor mobilization is expected around June 1, with a CPA banner and QR code to be displayed. The commission faces FY27 budget pressures including potential two-hour position cuts and reductions in pool hours and school sports programming.
Mason indicated willingness to explore field rentals as a revenue stream to offset departmental costs. Camp registrations show five of eight junior camp weeks sold out with senior camp completely full; Pavilion 1 has sold out for the summer.
