The meeting did not record a final decision on the proposed Crane Park parking expansion, but residents asked the Historical Commission to support preserving open space in the town center. A presentation proposed recognizing Adams, East Wilbraham, Woodland Dell, and Glendale cemeteries for their historical significance. The commission has $300 in its regular budget and $6,000 in Community Preservation Act funds for a memorial marker, which had not yet been erected.
