2987746 · April 11, 2025

Summary

Town officials said Resource Recovery denied the Eco Depot proposal for the fairgrounds location; the council is exploring alternate sites and awaiting further explanation from the agency about paved-area requirements.

Council members reported the Eco Depot request to use the fairgrounds was denied by the state Resource Recovery agency. Councilors said they are pursuing alternative locations and seeking clarification from the state contact about why the fairgrounds’ non‑paved staging area is unsuitable. Town staff said the denial was received within days of the meeting and that the town would continue to pursue a suitable site and await a callback from the agency representative.

No formal action was taken at the April 10 meeting. The council treated the matter as old business and plans to follow up with Resource Recovery staff to determine whether a paved staging area is required, or whether alternate staging arrangements might be acceptable.
