What this means

The Tower Hill Playground can move forward with up to $150,000 in Community Preservation funding, but the School Department must approve the project and use of the property. The committee postponed decisions on several preservation and accessibility projects while applicants address additional information, funding, or ownership issues. It also rejected the Conservation Commission’s request for a three-phase waterways master plan.
