The Plymouth Select Board convened on December 3, 2024, to address several key agenda items, including the appointment of a new committee member and an update on a local public art project.

The meeting began with a motion to appoint Ms. Jones to a three-year term on the No Place for Hate Committee. The motion, made by Mr. Canty and seconded by Mr. Bledzer, received unanimous approval from the board members present, including Mr. Mahoney, Mr. Golden, and Mr. Bledzer.

Following this, the board received an update on the Market Street Bridge mural project from Lauren Lehi, Deputy Director of Planning. Lehi acknowledged the contributions of the Plymouth North High School Art in the Community class, led by teacher Lauren Jazerski. Jazerski reported that the students successfully completed the mural over two days, from October 31 to November 1, despite challenging weather conditions. The project involved students creating Polaroid snapshots that represented their personal connections to Plymouth, which were incorporated into the mural design.

Jazerski expressed gratitude to the Select Board for their support and to the Visitor Service Board for funding the project. She highlighted the positive community engagement during the mural painting, where passersby interacted with the students and learned about their work.

At the conclusion of the presentation, the board recognized the participating students by presenting certificates of appreciation. Students were called up in alphabetical order to receive their awards, with a group photo opportunity planned at the end of the ceremony.

Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to community involvement and the arts, reflecting a collaborative spirit in enhancing Plymouth's public spaces.
