Advisory task force unanimously recommends pathway toward acquisition of 229 Main Street; Superfund issues remain
Summary
A 229 Main Street advisory task force voted unanimously to recommend the Select Board pursue a conditional pathway toward acquisition; the report will be completed before Christmas and will address Superfund-related uncertainties.
An advisory task force working on 229 Main Street reported a unanimous recommendation to the Select Board to pursue a pathway toward acquisition, while noting that multiple unresolved issues related to the site’s Superfund status must be addressed before any acquisition decision.
Paul Bell, representing the Main Street advisory task force, told the Select Board the vote reflects extensive discussion of uncertainties tied to environmental and cleanup issues. He said the task force will deliver a final report before Christmas and that he will brief the Select Board on next steps, which may include additional investigations and conditions to protect the town from liability or unexpected costs.
Bell emphasized the recommendation is conditional: several technical and legal hurdles remain before the town could move forward. No Select Board vote occurred at this meeting; the advisory task force’s report and follow-up briefings will be the next steps for any formal action.
