A RENDERING OF THE PROPOSED DPW/LIGHT PLANT BUILDING THAT WOULD REPLACE THE CURRENT DPW BARN at West Corner.

By Carol Britton Meyer

The select board on Wednesday night reaffirmed its majority opinion to support the removal of the light plant from a grant proposal to fund a joint public works/light plant structure at West Corner.

On Monday, October 19, town staff met with Coastal Zone Management representatives to discuss the potential change in scope and any associated consequences resulting from an earlier select board 3-2 vote and the light board’s unanimous vote to remove the light plant from the CZM coastal resilience grant study. The light board voted unanimously against a combined facility some time ago.

While Town Manager Jennifer Constable, who also serves as light plant manager, was unable to attend, she later received an update from CZM, which she summarized for the select board at its request this week after sharing the details with them in a memo following the October 22 light board meeting, at which this issue was discussed.
