Select Board readies talking points as resident questions $50,000 warrant article

The board reviewed public reaction to a warrant article requesting $50,000 to establish a "public safety building expendable trust fund" for surveys, site work and professional services. Members said the money is intended to fund early studies—wetland delineations, test pits and soils work—to avoid larger land purchases later; one member said, "we need to have enough because if we can move forward, we're going to have to spend, you know, potentially not all of it, but a chunk of it."
