Deerfield senior-housing committee reviews RFP, notes Brown Field environmental assessment grant
Summary
At its Jan. 7 meeting the Ad Hoc Senior Housing Committee reviewed the status of a senior-housing RFP, debated timing for release, and disclosed receipt of a Brown Field Environmental Assessment Grant to fund survey and hazardous-materials work.
The Ad Hoc Senior Housing Committee met remotely on Jan. 7 and reviewed progress on its Request for Proposals for senior housing, while also noting the town received a Brown Field Environmental Assessment Grant.
Members called the meeting to order at 5:01 p.m. and recorded attendance by Lili Dwight, Blake Gilmore, Pam Predmore, Kathy Sylvester and Carolyn Ness; guests included Jason Clark, Melody Clark and Alex Galloway. The committee reaffirmed support for the Deerfield Select Board’s anti-hate statement of Nov. 11, 2022.
On project-specific business, committee participant Alex Galloway reported she had not yet heard back from the municipality’s FRCOG contact, Laura, and said she would follow up this week. The group discussed whether to wait for FRCOG edits before releasing the RFP. "Alex suggests we send it now, because FRCOG is really just making minor edits (ie) dates," the committee record states. Lili Dwight asked Alex to send the RFP to her once FRCOG returns it.
The committee also recorded that the town received a Brown Field Environmental Assessment Grant. According to the meeting minutes, the grant will support a survey, a hazardous-materials assessment and an abatement estimate; members said approvals for the work will take several months.
Christine Madore—identified in the minutes as a reviewer for the RFP—recommended releasing the RFP in March or April and offered to review the document. Alex and Lili agreed to coordinate introductions so Christine can complete her review.
The committee approved minutes from its Dec. 17, 2025 meeting; the minutes were noted as "unanimously approved." The meeting adjourned at 5:21 p.m.; the committee scheduled its next meeting for Jan. 14, 2026.
Adjournment left time for potential public comment, but no substantive public remarks are recorded in the minutes.
