Residents at the Special Town
Meeting Thursday night voted unanimously
to accept a gift of 100+ acres located off Wright road near Wintechog Hill
Road. During the meeting, attendees reviewed background information, legal
correspondence and documents, the environmental engineer’s assessment, assessor’s
maps and property information, the property tax summary, aerial photos and a
slide show of recent photographs of the property. The deed was signed after the
meeting and the Town attorney will be concluding the rest of the paper work
this week. It is planned that an additional parcel of approximately 8 acres
will be voted on in January.
Tuesday evening, the Selectmen held a regular meeting at the
Volunteer Fire Company to hear a presentation on the status of their facilities
and a proposed new firehouse. A tour
of the facilities followed the presentation. The Selectmen requested cost
estimates for initial engineering and site preparation work as an input for evaluation
of the proposed project.
Selectmen have reviewed the comparative bid analysis from
our engineer and chosen the low bidder for replacing the Main Street Bridge in the Village. Absent any final issues, it is
expected that a contract will be signed and work started by the first week of
January if not by the end of next week.
Monday night, the Economic Development Commission heard the
final three presentations for formulating an economic development plan for the Town. The Commission plans to
select one consultant shortly.
The Ad Hoc School Building Committee continues to work with
their consultant in assessing the current school
facilities. Short term schedule milestones are completion of the Educational
Specification from the School Administration in early January, report to the
Board of Education towards the end of January and kickoff of the design
concepts immediately after that.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! Have a safe
holiday.
