Highway Foreman Trevor Dryden told the Select Board that Green Mountain Line Striping has completed about 75% of the town's striping work and that upcoming paving projects will face higher costs. Dryden said he has three staff currently and is seeking a fourth crew member; he proposed increasing the starting salary to $30,000–$34,000 to attract candidates.
