Blackstone Parks and Recreation Commission approves craft night program and ADA strategy. The five-member commission voted unanimously to allocate $200 for a game and craft night February 18 at the Senior Center and accepted a plan by Sara Peters, chairperson of the town ADA committee, to pursue a $250,000 annual Americans with Disabilities Act grant covering park modifications. Celeste Langlois advanced a warrant article consolidating funds for a basketball court and ADA-compliant pathways at Turbesi.
