The recommendation is not final; Belchertown’s Annual Town Meeting must approve the funding. The committee also recommended funding for library window restoration, cemetery gravestones, a historic map, a mobile-home park septic and infrastructure project, conservation land, accessible bleachers, Little League improvements, and a soccer field. The proposed Carriage Grove purchase-and-sale agreement was still under negotiation, and the committee noted that the project would help address Belchertown’s affordable-housing needs.
