SOUTHWICK – New England Disc Golf Center just went one step closer with their intentions of having a disc golf facility on 41 & 51 John Mason Road.
The Conservation Commission held a continued hearing for the disc golf facility on Monday night and the Commission unanimously approved the project.

Partial business owners Randy Brown, Freda Brown and Drew Gardner presented their specific plan to the Conservation Commission.
The discussion was generated towards making sure the proposed piece of land for their business is not interfering with the existing wetlands surrounding it. According to Freda Brown, the goal has been to maintain the natural beauty of the property.
Gardner noted that the only change made from the last plan was that they were previously in the buffer zone and now are outside the buffer zone, which meets the regulations.
The approval from the Conservation Commission was yet another good step forward for New England Disc Golf Center, but they aren’t quite at the finalized stage just yet.
“We’re not there yet,” said Randy Brown. “We’re getting closer.”
The next step will take place on August 16 when the potential disc golf owners go back to the Planning Board.
“It’s just one step at a time,” said Randy Brown. “We’ll see the Planning Board in a couple of weeks and go from there.”
