Selectboard members reviewed plans to unearth the Bicentennial Time Capsule at Albert Bridge School at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 4, and to place a new Semiquincentennial Time Capsule to remain in the ground until the United States Tricentennial Anniversary in 2076. Town staff discussed documentation procedures for materials removed from the older capsule, methods for recording the new burial location, and the need to finalize logistics at future meetings.
Town Administrator Matt Frederick said West Windsor resident Ray Shannis — Albert Bridge School principal in 1976 — "has indicated that he would like to participate in its unearthing at Albert Bridge School at 8:30am on Saturday, July 4th." The board discussed mapping and documentation approaches and asked staff to continue planning and public outreach for the event.
No formal decisions beyond planning were made; the Selectboard said details would be finalized at a later meeting and encouraged residents to contact the town administrator for more information.
