Selectboard discusses meeting-house grant timeline and modest town celebration plans
Summary
The board discussed an expected Merck grant and meeting-house work starting in February with completion anticipated by end of 2026; members also discussed a possible fall celebration and volunteer support for community events.
Members said work on the meeting house tied to a grant (referred to in discussion as a Merck-related grant) is expected to start in February, with project completion anticipated by the end of 2026. A grant amount cited in discussion was roughly $204,000; Julie said she would confirm the exact figure.
The board also discussed whether to stage a town celebration once work is complete and recalled the larger community events held in 2011. A modest fall event was suggested, and volunteers were invited to help with planning. "We can do something," a member said about staging events around the completed work and involving children and community volunteers.
