Whitingham signs bond documents to put highway garage vote on Nov. 3 ballot

The Whitingham Selectboard voted on Sept. 2 to approve and sign two documents necessary to place a bond for the town highway garage on the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot. Chair Scott M. Reed moved to approve the “Declaration of Official Intent of Town of Whitingham to Reimburse Certain Expenditures From Proceeds of Indebtedness” and the “Resolution Certificate,” and the motion passed unanimously.

Board members also discussed an alternate parcel shown to them by resident Donny Boyd. Boyd said the property owner told him "not at this time." Selectboard members warned that moving the project from the current site would waste "hundreds of thousands of dollars already spent on engineering and design" and noted the board had already signed bond documents to move forward at the existing garage site.
