Mission/Purpose
This Committee was formed in fall 2023, with the charge of creating a master plan for two adjacent parcels of land in East Brunswick: a 66 acre recreation area that has been a town property for approximately 10 years, and a recently-acquired neighboring property of 163 acres.
In 2019 the Town of Brunswick accepted a donation of land from Maine Gravel Services Inc., to be used for public recreation. This 163.4-acre parcel is adjacent to the 66-acre Captain William Fitzgerald USN Recreation & Conservation Area which is located off Old Bath Road in East Brunswick.
​
Previously, the Town Council authorized the establishment of a committee to produce a master development and management plan for the Fitzgerald property. Since its acceptance there have been several changes in terms of other properties that have been conveyed to the town for recreational use that make it appropriate to reevaluate the development plan for certain future facilities as articulated in the Fitzgerald plan.
As a result, the Town Council established a new committee whose job is to review the Fitzgerald plan and to develop a new plan that would also include the former Maine Gravel Service Inc. land.
