What's on this agenda

Hillsborough's Parks and Recreation Board planned to elect a new chair and vice chair and review the 2016 master plan for Kings Highway Park, including how it handles stormwater, utilities and the park's historical resources.

The rest of the agenda was routine: minutes approval, reports from the town's other boards, and updates from each board member on the park they oversee as steward.
