Milton recently released draft concepts for the city’s new greenspace plan, Greenprint. The plan is working to identify and deliver improvements for six properties include the 104.8-acre Cooper Sandy greenspace, the Freemanville and Birmingham roads property, 28 acres off Hamby Road, the Lackey Road greenspace, the 130-acre passive portion of Milton City Park and Preserve (including the former Kennedy property) and 4.8 acres off Webb Road.

A critical piece of the Greenprint process is community involvement. The city Is planning a third public forum (but not scheduled at the time of this post) that will incorporate in-person and online feedback into updated draft concept plans, including details on suggested amenities and future uses for each space.
