Feasibility Study for Land Near COA
Gary Sorkin distributed a map of the parcel of Town-owned land that includes the COA. He asked Andy Freeman about legal aspects of use of the land. He said this could be ascertained through deeds. There is a 3.7-acre portion of the COA lot. Mary Rogers said this would be administrative funds well spent to avoid proceeding with a project that could not be done. The Board discussed the possibility of a feasibility study but agreed to discuss the matter with the Town Clerk first. It might be possible to investigate the matter without cost. The Committee considered what regulations were in place on the lot that includes the Transfer Station.
