July Building Permits Surpass One Million Dollars
Building permits in July exceed one million dollars with two permits over the threshold. Mayor Armstrong estimates the July activity will yield about 300000 in assessments upon completion. An easement with Dominion Seed House will allow a new town water line to serve the east. Dr Doug Sargent opposes a by law amendment on driveway placement. Discussion includes garbage collection timing and sewage plant fencing costs. Speed limit changes in school zones are debated with Holmes and Noble opposing a 25 mph reduction.
