The Southborough Trails Committee meeting on May 6, 2025, focused on funding and logistical challenges related to signage for local trails. Committee members discussed their efforts to secure donations for a food truck from the Rotary Club, although it appears the request was not successful.
A key point of discussion involved the financial requirements for signage. Committee members expressed the need for clarity on how to manage funding if the costs exceed the available grant money. Specifically, they raised questions about the Community Preservation Committee's (CPC) preferences regarding invoices and payment processes. The committee is seeking guidance on whether they can request additional funds if their current grant does not cover the total cost of the signage.
The meeting underscored the importance of understanding funding mechanisms and the need for clear communication with the CPC to ensure the successful implementation of trail signage. As the committee moves forward, they will need to address these financial uncertainties to enhance the local trail system effectively.
