At the May 6 Select Board meeting, town officials and board members conducted a site visit at the Transfer Station (Wood Bank area) to evaluate the feasibility of constructing a communication tower.

The town is currently working with Network Building & Consulting (NB+C) to gather data from this visit. This information will be used to generate a formal proposal regarding the tower's construction.

While new infrastructure can provide municipal revenue, these types of projects often bring significant questions regarding land use, environmental effects, and the visual impact on our community. As the town moves from the information-gathering stage to a formal proposal, residents should stay informed on how this project might change the local landscape and the long-term management of municipal property.
