Enginer Gary King is retiring from the Department of Public Works after 30 years of service.
The West Brattleboro Scoping Study was accepted and endorsed, with five varying options described, ranging from nothing to new bike and people paths through the backyards of West Brattleboro properties. Likely, a more simple approach of bike lanes and sidewalks will be attempted.
Brattleboro signed on to help the Windham and Windsor Housing Trust apply for a grant to do energy improvements at five local properties that they own, Brattleboro will apply for brownfield site planning funds, and a sustainable energy program feasibility study vanished from the agenda without explanation, but with discussion.
Numerous opportunities for public comment exist at the next regular Brattleboro Selectboard meeting. Attend in person at the Municipal Center on Main Street to offer comment on plans to improve Western Avenue for bike riders and pedestrians in West Brattleboro, or to weigh in on the Windham & Windsor Housing Trust plans to rehab local buildings.
You can join the discussion of a large scale district heating plan, plans to get a grant to do brownfield studies in town, applications for special event permits, town finances, staffing levels, or anything else not on the agenda during Public Participation.
Watch it all on BCTV as it happens, then read about and discuss the meeting here after.
