Selectboard schedules Sept. 29 hearing and hires attorneys for Lot J‑54 closing
Summary
The board set a Sept. 29 hearing and closing for a tax‑deeded property (Lot J‑54) and agreed to hire Devine & Millimet to calculate proceeds and advise on contested claims; the chair was authorized to sign a memo allowing a prospective buyer to consult the Planning Board.
The Selectboard scheduled a Sept. 29 hearing and closing for tax‑deeded Lot J‑54 and authorized legal help to determine amounts owed to the town.
Town staff described the parcel as tax‑deeded for approximately 32 years, creating complexity in computing what is owed. Staff recommended retaining Devine & Millimet, tax attorneys, to calculate proceeds and provide a defensible position if the closing is contested; the board agreed to hire them.
The board also authorized the chair to sign a memo permitting the prospective owner to consult with the Planning Board on a conceptual design and set a Sept. 29 meeting time at 11 a.m. at Town Hall for the closing and a hearing on unanticipated revenue.
