Owners of Post Office building say repairs are costly; ask if Town has public use interest
Summary
Richard and Diane Squires told the Selectboard the building that houses the Post Office needs engineering‑level repairs and that the Post Office lease is on hold; they asked whether the Town has any public‑use plans before listing the roughly one‑quarter‑acre property for sale.
Richard and Diane Squires addressed the Selectboard about the building they own that currently houses the Post Office. The Squires said they purchased the property about 25 years ago and described plumbing problems and weakening rafters attributable to dampness; they said repairs would likely require an engineering review and be expensive.
They asked whether the Town had any public use for the building before they decide to list it for sale, said the Post Office lease is on hold, and noted the property is signed up for the Village Wastewater project and is approximately one‑quarter acre. The Squires said apartments might be possible but would require significant investment; they offered to consider a favorable sale price if the Town had an interest.
