Glenn King, was recognized for his “tireless efforts as Chair of the Northbridge Community Preservation Committee” and David Pickart was recognized for his “exceptional efforts as Northbridge’s Conservation Agent to preserve and protect Castle Hill Farm. Each received a plaque in recognition of their steadfast commitment to securing the property for the benefit of the townspeople and the region.
