Richford to post sale of 50 Farrar Street; board asks administrator to research more property sales
Summary
Town Administrator Marissa Tessier said a resolution to convey 50 Farrar Street will be signed and posted, triggering a 30‑day petition period requiring 5% of legal voters; Chair Steinhour asked Tessier to investigate selling additional town property and the board agreed.
Town Administrator Marissa Tessier said the Selectboard will sign and post a resolution and proposal to convey town real estate to begin the sale process for 50 Farrar Street, which the minutes say will give legal voters 30 days to submit a petition signed by 5 percent of voters.
The announcement came during the administrator’s update at the Sept. 3 meeting of the Town of Richford Selectboard. Tessier said she had discussed revising the town’s Housing Ordinance with the town attorney and that the board would have more information at the next meeting.
Chair Steinhour asked the board, with Tessier’s approval, to research whether additional town properties could be offered for sale; Tessier will pursue that research and report back at a future meeting. The minutes do not record any formal motion or vote to list further properties.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: the conveyance resolution and proposal will be posted, opening the 30‑day petition period described above. The board expects an update on the Housing Ordinance at the next regular meeting.
