Resident proposes Brookfield-style town garage; cemetery fence replacement raised
Summary
Baxter Doty told the Selectboard he prefers Brookfield’s garage design for a proposed Tunbridge town garage and asked about grant availability; Maryann Caron said grants typically support economic growth or affordable housing rather than general municipal buildings. Doty also flagged a Village cemetery fence that needs replacement.
Baxter Doty addressed the Selectboard May 27 to propose building a new town garage modeled on Brookfield’s design and asked whether grants exist to fund such construction.
Maryann Caron replied that grants are typically aimed at economic growth or affordable housing projects and are generally not available for standard municipal building construction. Doty also raised the need to replace the cemetery fence in the Village and asked the board to consider that work in future planning.
No formal motion or funding decision was recorded for a garage or the cemetery fence at the meeting; Doty’s comments were taken as items for future consideration and follow-up.
