Maria Welch presented the Select Board with a proposal to create an outdoor meeting space at New Ashford Town Hall. She said the plan would include a bench, a picnic table and a lending library; she estimated the cost at about $1,000 and said she will build the bench and table off-site.

The board agreed to research and order a gazebo to complement the proposed furnishings. Road Commissioner Keith Lacasse offered that he has a load of 3/4-inch stone at the salt shed that could be used as a base for the space. The board thanked Welch for the proposal and tabled formal procurement steps pending further research.

No formal vote to authorize spending on the project was recorded in the transcript; the proposal will return to the board for further consideration.
