WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects. ABSTRACT Princeton, Massachusetts, has faced challenges negotiating with private and government entities to develop a town-wide connected recreational trail system. This project provides a detailed strategy guide for the Princeton Open Space Committee to overcome these challenges and develop future trails in Princeton. To achieve this, we conducted a GIS analysis of existing trails, consulted with key stakeholders to determine trail building regulations, and interviewed 11 local trail planning groups to determine best practices for trail standards and maintenance plans. Based on our findings, we provided a comprehensive trail map and recommendations to advance future trail projects. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Our group would like to thank the following people and organizations for supporting this project: ● The Princeton Open Space Committee, for an opportunity to complete this project.

It is with that same enthusiasm that we release an updated edition of the Community Partners Directory in a user-friendly format. This new edition features a list of all ORI programs with a brief description of each, followed by a list of the providers that offer each program. After, the directory lists each provider more thoroughly, including their contact information and location. It is our hope that this directory will allow community partners and stakeholders to collaborate in order to best serve the immigrants and refugees residing in Massachusetts. Every effort has been made to ensure that this directory is accurate and up to date. This second edition is special because it includes ORI’s new partners for the newest addition to ORI’s portfolio of programs, the Financial Literacy for Newcomers (FLNP).
