Board updates: downtown DRI projects, skate park and special-event approvals
Summary
Board reported progress on downtown DRI work, a skate-park timeline and upcoming bids for a museum renovation; a pending 5K event approval was treated as pending insurance and sign-off by departments.
Town staff reported on several ongoing downtown and infrastructure projects funded through the DRI process and other town programs. Staff said canal-side work is under contract and expected to be completed by October next year (weather dependent); the skateboard park materials are arriving and the board expects that work to be finished soon. "By next year, October, all the DRI projects should be done for the town," staff said.
On special events, the board discussed a pending 5K application that was missing insurance documentation; members voted to approve the event pending proper signatures and departmental sign-offs. The board also discussed bids and timelines for a Johnson Street project (expected completion by April 2025) and reminded residents about smart-meter installations planned for up to two years, with identification and door hangers for missed appointments.
