The Board of Finance received updates on several transportation and utility projects at its Sept. 10 meeting.
Chairman Peter B. Thierry reported that the Gale Road and Birch Hill Road bridges are in the design phase for replacement planned in the 2028–2029 period. The board also noted that $2,000,000 in LOTSIP funding has been approved for rehabilitation work on Scoville Hill Road, with construction expected in about four to five years. In addition, the Locust Road water line project is scheduled to begin after the town Fair, according to the minutes.
These items were presented as old‑business updates and no formal votes or appropriations were recorded at the meeting on these projects. The board also recorded receipt of an 8‑24 referral concerning a garage replacement project linked in the minutes to Thierry (recorded as 'Thierry can garage replacement project'). Further budget or scheduling decisions were not made at this session.
