What's important ⁠this week

The Warner Select Board remains undecided on the proposed DNCR bike trail following a petition from 200 residents. While community members expressed frustration over conflicting reports regarding the project's status, the board has only agreed to ⁠seek further clarification from the DNCR before taking next steps.

Beyond the trail controversy, the town is navigating several financial and administrative hurdles. Officials are currently debating whether Primex should cover ⁠significant cleaning costs following the Highway Garage fire, while simultaneously stalling on property boundary discrepancies. These map errors have already prevented at least one resident from ⁠completing a property sale.

Residents should watch for a formal response regarding the DNCR application and the town's potential legal liability. As the board continues to assess its fiscal responsibilities, the resolution of these property record errors remains a ⁠critical priority for homeowners.

  • The Board’s current plan is to seek 'clarification' from the DNCR. However, with significant community opposition already documented, waiting for more info while the project moves forward is a major concern for neighbors. 2/3
