Select Board approves order of taking for county road bridge replacement
Summary
The Sheffield Select Board approved the layout 'order of taking' for the county road bridge replacement project and noted that easement appraisals for affected property owners will be completed in August before further action on compensation.
The Sheffield Select Board approved the order of taking layout for the county road bridge replacement project on Aug. 4, 2025. Town staff presented the plan previously approved at town meeting and clarified that the board’s action approves the layout, not the property-owner easements or appraisals. Appraisals for affected properties will be completed during August and staff will follow up with property owners.
A staff presenter told the board the work primarily adds a deck and that structural changes are minimal. The board made and seconded a motion to approve the order of taking for the layout; a voice vote followed with members indicating assent.
Why it matters: Approving the taking layout advances a municipal infrastructure project that will replace a county road bridge; owners will be contacted as appraisals are completed and compensation discussed.
The transcript shows the board approved the layout; details on appraisal amounts and timing for construction milestones were not provided in the record and remain to be completed and communicated to property owners.
