To the Honorable Board:

 

I respectfully request that this Board consider and approve dedication of the land known as Lincoln Park, including the Lincoln Park Playground, to Public Open Space and recreational use in perpetuity, in accordance with Article 97 of the amendments to the Constitution of the Commonwealth, and according to M.G.L. c. 45, §14.  This legislative action is required for eligibility to be considered for the State Parkland Acquisitions and Renovations for Communities (PARC) grant program.

 

My staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

 

Respectfully,

Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
