News
Joe's Driving Range WILL become Teaticket Park!
The 300 Committee purchased the 10.7-acre driving range on Teaticket Highway from Bill and Donna Vieira on December 30, 2011. Long-awaited news has finally arrived from Commonwealth of Massachusetts' Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affiars: our project to convert the land to a community park has received a $500,000 PARC grant! Plans for Phase I of the park conversion are moving forward.
Check out the concept plan, designed by Stephen Stimson Associates Landscape Architects:
Please stay tuned for news of upcoming events in support of Teaticket Park, and let us know if you would like to be involved in any way in this exciting project.
