Resident raises concerns about press coverage and requests wind-project road schedules
Summary
Resident Renee Hodsdon told selectmen that two newspaper articles mentioning Roxbury omitted key context about taxes and the town administrator and said she had contacted the wind project about road schedules; the board agreed to post notices in local papers and online.
During public comment, resident Renee Hodsdon said she had seen newspaper coverage referencing Roxbury in stories about Oxford and Franklin County taxes and about the town administrator and said those pieces did not appear to include certain contextual details. She asked the board to be prepared to answer questions that might arise from the coverage.
Hodsdon also said she had reached out to the wind project team about road impacts as components arrive and suggested the project post a schedule or notices so residents could expect delays. Selectman Timothy Derouche recommended posting the schedule in the two newspapers that circulate locally and on the town’s Facebook page and website.
The minutes record the comment and the board’s suggestion for increased public notice; no further action or timeline for a formal response was recorded.
