FNLC outlines plan, grant funding for Fairfield Pond beach and boat launch
Summary
Friends of Northern Lake Champlain told the Fairfield Selectboard a preliminary design is complete for the Fairfield Pond Beach and boat launch; grant funding covers final design and construction, with a timeline extending through fall 2027 and opportunities for Selectboard input.
Josh Sherpe of Friends of Northern Lake Champlain told the Selectboard that "a preliminary design is complete, and FNLC has received grant funding for final design and construction." The presentation summarized work with the town since January 2025 and described next steps: hire a design engineer, solicit stakeholder input, and follow a timeline through fall 2027.
Selectboard members indicated they will take part in site visits and provide input during design. Member Ron Bocash agreed to attend site visits on the board’s behalf; David Persons urged keeping changes to the boat launch minimal to avoid impacting kayakers. The Selectboard did not take formal action on the project at the May 26 meeting, but members were informed of the funding status and upcoming design decisions.
