Reed Cleaners remediation continues; town signs vendor for assessment work
Summary
Staff reported continued testing and an executed contract for assessment work at the Reed Cleaners site and said federal funding constraints limit how the town can accelerate remediation; staff plans a public update in September.
Staff (S2) updated the board that Reed Cleaners remains a core priority and that testing and assessment work will continue under a new vendor contract the town manager signed. Staff asked for an update to be posted on the Select Board Slack and indicated a fuller public status update could be provided in September.
"Reed Cleaners property remains as a core priority that is moving forward, with still the testing to be finalized. I did sign, for a vendor to, continue with the cleaning. They would be on the assessment work needed," Staff member (S2) said. Board members asked for clarification on funding constraints and timelines; staff noted federal funding rules limit immediate town‑led expenditure and that cumulative remediation costs to date exceed $1,000,000.
