Here are the levels of giving:

$500,000 of funding is needed for Weston Town Green. The Daniel E. Offutt Charitable Trust has pledge a matching contribution of $250,000. By making a donation towards this wonderful new public meeting place, you will help create a vibrant park for neighbors and visitors to gather and celebrate the best of small town living in downtown Weston. A bronze plaque, mounted by the front door of Weston Town Hall, will list the major donors of the project.

The Beautification Committee’s mission is to provide guidance on interior and exterior aesthetic choices for Town properties and to enhance the natural environment throughout Weston.  Much of the planting program is supported by the Greyledge Fund, through The Harry Rogers Trust, established in 2007.  The Trust stipulates that distributions are to be used "for the planting and maintenance of flowering trees, shrubs and plants on the roadside of the public roads located within the Town of Weston."

The Beautification Committee coordinates with Weston Town Hall and the Town’s landscape maintenance crew. The committee emphasizes sustainable practices; native, pollinator-friendly plant material; and the importance of safe pest and disease management.  The Beautification Committee also maintains the design of a number of seasonal planters and holiday decorations at Town Hall and around Town.

The Beautification Committee is leading the effort for the new Weston Town Green in front of Town Hall. The design is completed, fundraising will commence when it is safe to do so.
