Old Firehouse sale stalled by easement; P&Z to draft letter urging Selectmen action

The commission discussed the stalled sale of the Old Firehouse at 33 Railroad Street on July 23, noting that an outstanding easement resolution remains the key barrier to marketing and sale. Commissioners reviewed recent marketing challenges and prior interested buyers and cited estimated renovation costs ranging from $1 million to $1.2 million.

Members agreed to draft a letter to the Board of Selectmen urging action to resolve the easement. The meeting record lists the follow-up action and assigns responsibility to a commission subcommittee; no formal timeline was established at the meeting.
