Ruth Franzius urges Planning Board scrutiny of Goodwin's mineral extraction permit
Summary
At the Jan. 2 Selectpersons meeting, resident Ruth Franzius expressed concern about Goodwin's mineral extraction permit application and was advised to present her concerns at the Planning Board meeting on Jan. 8, 2025; the Selectpersons also authorized the chair to forward a letter to the Planning Board.
Ruth Franzius raised concerns about a mineral extraction permit application filed by Goodwin's during public comment at the Selectpersons meeting on Jan. 2, 2025. The board advised Franzius to attend the Planning Board meeting on Jan. 8, 2025 to present her concerns directly to planners.
The Selectpersons did not take formal action on the permit application itself at the Jan. 2 meeting. Separately, the board approved a motion authorizing Chair Jack Bridges to sign and forward a letter to the Planning Board conveying the Selectpersons' request, a motion moved by Adam Foster and seconded by Bill Birdsall that passed 3–0. The minutes say Franzius pointed out specific items in the town's fee schedule that she thought should be reviewed; the board agreed those items should be forwarded to the CEO and his assistant, Nick, for follow-up.
No further details about Goodwin's application, including the location, scope, or any scheduled Planning Board agenda item number, were included in the minutes. The Planning Board meeting on Jan. 8 is the next listed opportunity for Franzius and other residents to raise concerns before any Planning Board decision.
