The generated concepts you will see are based primarily upon our conversations with town residents, staff, professionals, and conclusions drawn from our initial analyses.

In harmony with the original scope of the project, our efforts were focused on creating both non-development and development options for the park tract. Based on the acquisition scenarios presented initially, the non-development options can be categorized into end-product ownership: federal, state, and town. Ownership on the part of both the Federal government and the State government will by default carry a number of design requirements set forth by those individual organizations. Therefore, we present one non-development concept which reflects our recommendations in the case that ownership is acquired by the town and the town then holds full jurisdiction of the park property. The development concepts are based on our recommendations in the case of either a private-public partnership or full private ownership of the park property.

ALTERNATE CONCEPTS

We want to stress that the concepts are built on a number of elements; the concepts in and of themselves are not absolute, meaning that elements of one concept may be suitable for combination with elements from another. The Alternatives section that follows the concepts emphasizes this idea by presenting the elements in a more individual manner for further consideration. Please explore both development and non-development concepts before submitting feedback.
