Shirley Recreation Commission unanimously approved three concurrent approaches for Wilde Road athletic fields: pursuing a $100,000 Select Board irrigation earmark, seeking mitigation-land funding with town-covered survey costs, and advancing revised legislation to address state-flagged terminology concerns.
