Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The commission wants to continue working with the Historical Society but raised concerns about conflicts of interest and fairness in the grant process. Staff will explore alternative funding and project paths, and any sculpture on Town property would need final commission approval before entering the permanent public art collection. The Art and Culture Grant application portal remains open through March 20, with recommendations expected after review between March 20 and April 17.
