Fayston declines request to sell gravel tailings for local trail use
Summary
The Selectboard denied a request—raised via Josh Livingston—from Mad River Ridge Runners and VAST to take tailings from the town gravel pit for trail use, citing limits on selling town material and complications of operating a sale.
The Fayston Selectboard denied a request that would have allowed recreational groups to remove tailings from the town gravel pit for trail maintenance. Board discussion noted the request came through Josh Livingston on behalf of Mad River Ridge Runners and VAST; Selectboard member Ron Graves said any use should be limited to Fayston, while Michael Jordan said “the Town is unable to sell the material” and that operating a sale would be complicated. The board agreed to deny the request.
No formal sale or transfer was authorized and the board did not assign a staff follow-up to create a sale process. Members raised limiting any town-provided material to in-town uses only, but the motion before the board was to deny the request entirely.
