On April 9, the Sudbury Select Board moved into the interview phase for the Liberty Ledge Sewataro Advisory Committee.
While this appeared to be a routine administrative session, the composition of this committee is significant. The members appointed will provide advisory guidance on the Sewataro project, a matter that involves the management of town resources and local land use—topics that directly impact Sudbury residents interested in conservation.
During the meeting, the Board interviewed applicants, including William Atkeson, to evaluate how their experience with other town commissions might benefit the project. The Board clarified that no final decisions or deliberations would occur during this specific session.
Residents should keep an eye on the next Select Board meeting, where the Board is scheduled to deliberate on these appointments. Knowing who is being selected to advise on our land and resources is vital for community oversight.
