Ayer CPC advanced $66,000 shade structure funding for the Dog Park. The Community Preservation Committee voted unanimously to forward the DPW's application to a public hearing on September 28, 2026, for a 24-foot shade structure at 101 Snake Hill Road. The park has lost four of eight original trees, spurring resident complaints about inadequate summer shade.
DPW Director Dan Van Schalkwyk plans cost-sharing through Nashoba Valley Technical High School and local businesses. The committee scheduled its next meeting for September 30, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. to vote on warrant language before the October 2 Fall Town Meeting deadline.
