Commission debates moving stage; select board prefers current placement
Summary
Members discussed moving the new stage slightly left for acoustic and sight-line reasons but raised concerns about added concrete work and cost; the select board had indicated installing the stage on the existing footprint to avoid moving utilities.
The commission discussed whether to move the new stage to the left of the existing footprint to improve acoustics and sight-lines. One member argued a slight left shift could create sound issues and expose the back of the stage to drivers entering the park; others said moving it would require a concrete or floating slab and additional underground conduit for power.
S1 reported the select board was agreeable to placing the stage where the old one sits to avoid moving electrical infrastructure. The commission agreed to gather cost estimates and discuss the final placement with the pavilion/committee before proceeding. "I want it to stay right where it is," the chair said during the discussion, citing concerns about extra concrete costs and unfamiliar construction complexity.
