Selectmen review Associated Electric demolition plans and approve extra funds for Woods Woolen Mill reclamation
Summary
Town staff reported ongoing testing at the former Associated Electric site ahead of a demolition bid and said the town will sell salvageable items; the board also heard that reclamation plans for Woods Woolen Mill are moving forward with an additional $150,000 approved for the project.
At the July 23 meeting the Hillsborough Board of Selectmen reviewed updates on two local property projects: continued environmental testing and upcoming demolition of the former Associated Electric site, and reclamation work at the Woods Woolen Mill.
Town Administrator Laura Buono said testing continues at the former Associated Electric property as staff prepare to place the site out for demolition bids. She asked whether the board wanted to interview contractors; members said interviews were unnecessary because the Department of Environmental Services (DES) will be familiar with qualified contractors. Ms. Buono said items of interest in the building may be sold and the Selectmen agreed the town should move forward with selling such items by placing them out for bid or sale.
Ms. Buono also said reclamation plans for the Woods Woolen Mill are advancing and that the town has been approved for an additional $150,000 for the project; she said a public meeting will be scheduled at a future board session to discuss the plans in greater detail.
No formal votes on demolition procurement or the Woods Woolen Mill grant increase were recorded at the meeting; staff were asked to proceed with next steps and to place public meetings on future agendas.
