ASHLAND — Open Space and Recreation Committee assigns sections of draft plan to members for editing. Roberta Soolman, Chairperson, said she would write to the Select Board on February 12 to confirm when and to whom its letter regarding the Frankland Road Solar Project was sent, with recipients including Agilitas, the prospective buyer of 0 Cross Street, the Ashland Conservation Commission, the Building Commissioner, the Board of Health, and counterparts in Hopkinton.
