What's important ⁠this week

The Select Board approved several key spending measures this week, including $39,873 for critical repairs at the Highway Garage and Transfer Station. These funds will address long-standing safety issues, such as replacing windows and installing a functional eyewash station, to ensure ⁠essential facility upgrades are completed. Additionally, the board voted to appoint Molly Loz as the new Human Services Director.

Infrastructure and land use took center stage during public discussions regarding the upcoming Route 127 bridge replacement. While the town confirmed it will not bear any costs for the $6.2 million project, residents raised questions about ⁠wildlife baiting policies on town-owned land. Despite these concerns, the board granted permits for specific baiting sites on North Road and Cunningham Pond Road.

Residents should keep an eye on how the town manages new personnel transitions and the ongoing implementation of safety repairs. As the bridge project moves forward, the town will likely provide more updates regarding ⁠long-term construction timelines. Stay tuned for upcoming discussions regarding town land policies and environmental impact.
