The Lakeville Open Space Committee held a productive meeting on August 7, 2025, focusing on community outreach and collaboration with the Historic Commission. A key highlight was the committee's plan to distribute brochures at an upcoming festival in October, aimed at raising awareness about local open space initiatives. Members discussed the logistics of combining efforts with the Historic Commission, ensuring that they can effectively share information without any sales involved.

Committee members expressed enthusiasm about the outreach plan, noting that two members also serve on the Historic Commission, which will facilitate a seamless partnership at the festival. They agreed to prepare packets of brochures to hand out and answer questions from attendees, reinforcing their commitment to engaging the community.

Looking ahead, the committee acknowledged the need to revisit their goals after the outreach efforts are launched. They plan to prioritize which objectives to tackle next, as they have identified several important goals in the soon-to-be-released 2025 Open Space Plan. This discussion is expected to take place in their October meeting.

The next meeting is scheduled for September 4, 2025, at 6 PM at the Lakeville Senior Center, where members will continue to strategize on enhancing community involvement and advancing their open space initiatives.
