Bristol Town Manages Blank Check For Recreation Needs
Town Meeting granted a blank check to the Recreation Board to pursue a community project. The board declined condemnation to acquire part of the Colt Estate, instead consulting trustees and learning estimated costs near $100,000. They favored a central swimming site for Bristol residents and signaled interest in Kunz’s proposal while urging clearer details for children and non-swimmers.
