Library group gets Select Board guidance on grant to pave upper parking lot and walkway
Summary
Friends of the Shedd Free Library representatives briefed the Select Board on an approved grant to pave the upper parking lot and walkway; they noted coordination with Highway Department and an existing donation to cover drainage work, amount not specified.
Representatives of the Friends of the Shedd Free Library told the Town of Washington Select Board on April 30 that a grant they applied for has been approved to pave the upper parking lot and walkway at the library.
Donna Stone, Guy Eaton, Peggy Carney, Marsha Robertson and Bernadette Allen met with the board to review the steps required to proceed. Stone said they will work with the Highway Department on site work and drainage; the group reported they have a donation earmarked to cover drainage expenses but the minutes do not list a figure.
Public Works (Ed Thayer) noted the department will assist with removing stumps and adding loam, compost and seed to the garden area after paving work. The minutes also note that Jim Dumias will open the Camp Morgan restrooms for events.
The board discussed coordination steps and next actions but the minutes do not record a formal vote to allocate town funds for the paving project; the grant was described as already approved and the conversation focused on logistics.
