The “Red House” is a Town building located at 468 Main St., next to Town Hall. The Town of Acton, in collaboration with the Acton Water District, received a grant from the Metropolitan Area Planning Council to complete landscaping upgrades to transform this seemingly private property into a welcoming, wildlife-certified, educational space. Additional funds from the Community Preservation Act have been designated to continue growing the space. The property will function as a pocket park and serve as a location for outreach, education, and public engagement on climate resilience.
