CPC delays vote on $409,506 Walsh Trail match

Community Preservation Committee · Meeting of July 13, 2026

FRAMINGHAM — The Community Preservation Committee heard a $409,506 request to finish design of the Chris Walsh Memorial Trail. Grants Manager Megan Todd and Planning Director Sarkis Sarkisian said the match must be in place so federal design funds can be obligated by Sept. 30. Members took no vote on the five-day-old application and floated a Zoom vote on July 22 or 27, after a City Council referral.

The coordinator said about $25,000 in FY26 approvals carries into a $122,000 FY27 administrative budget. Members approved the June 8 and June 15 minutes 7-0-0 and agreed the Historic District Commission should hold the Tomb House preservation restriction.
