Potential panel site near Commercial Street raised; 1906 granite suggested as base

The Task Force discussed placing interpretive panels near the bridge to Duston Island along the right-hand side of Commercial Street within the rail right-of-way to create visual links among the rail, Commercial Street, and the island narrative. Chair Lorrie Carey described the location as overlooking the island and connecting key story elements but said the group must research land ownership and secure permission before placing panels in the railroad right-of-way.

Carey suggested using a 1906 granite piece salvaged from mill smokestack demolition as a bench or platform beneath the panels to tie the mill-district history into the display; Denise Pouliot recommended a granite slab base to reduce maintenance. The Task Force listed researching ownership and permissions as an action item.
