Museum contractor: barn addition may require moving underground propane tank; payment unresolved
Summary
Contractor Steve Carter told the Selectmen that equipment access for a barn addition at the Sugar Hill Historical Museum will likely require moving the Crapo Building's underground propane tank and lines; the board inspected the site and asked Selectman Dick Bielefield to follow up on cost and necessity.
Steve Carter, the contractor for an addition to the barn at the Sugar Hill Historical Museum, told the Selectmen on June 16 that moving the Crapo Building's underground propane tank and gas lines may be necessary to get equipment to the rear of the building. The board inspected the site during the meeting.
The key question raised was who will pay for the tank relocation and whether the move is strictly necessary. Selectman Dick Bielefield said he would return to the museum to discuss the issue with museum representatives. The transcript records no formal agreement or vote assigning payment responsibility or ordering the work at the meeting.
Why it matters: The need to relocate underground fuel infrastructure can create costs and a schedule impact for the museum project; the board's follow-up will determine whether the museum, the town, or a contractor will pay and whether the work proceeds before construction.
Next steps: Selectman Dick Bielefield will follow up with the Sugar Hill Historical Museum to clarify necessity and payment for any tank relocation before the town authorizes work.
