During a recent government meeting, citizen Evan Leake addressed the board regarding his impending relocation from his current business location at 99 North Center Street. Leake, whose family has owned property near the town square since 1866, expressed his desire to move his music store into the nearby depot, which he claims lacks a formal deed.

Leake highlighted the historical significance of his family's land and the potential legal implications of the situation, suggesting that the town might want to consider purchasing the property to avoid costly legal disputes. He emphasized his long-standing connection to the community and the importance of his business to his identity as a musician.

The board acknowledged Leake's comments and recommended that he consult with the town's attorney, Nathan Bix, to explore the legal aspects of his request. Following Leake's remarks, the meeting proceeded to the consent agenda, which included multiple items for approval, although one item was pulled for further discussion.
