At Long Last

At last night's Board of Selectmen meeting, Pat Mechare announced that bids have been accepted and contracts have been sent out to the four separate contractors who will repair and restore the exterior of 107 Main Street, aka Citizens Hall. The town had a tough time finding contractors because they have to meet strict requirements mandated by the state. Work on the new roof is expected to begin in January. The project is being financed by a STEAP (Small Town Economic Assistance Program) Grant and the deadline to complete all work is June 30, so the building will sparkle by summer. It's another important step in the much hoped for renewal and revival of Main Street.

Yes, its great that the old town hall will get a needed face lift (if only we could do something about those shower curtains!). But another municipal project that I'm really anxious to know about is our town pool - will we finally have a place for kids to play and swim this summer? Has anybody heard anything?
