Orford Selectboard reviews 'Alternative 2' concept for Town Office parking lot

The Orford Selectboard met in a work session on Sept. 4, 2026, to review a concept design for the Town Office parking lot and driveways. The meeting opened at 1:00 p.m. and the minutes record that the draft 'Alternative 2' plan includes 22 parking spaces, a widened driveway allowing separate entrance and exit lanes, and an ADA-compliant parking space.

The minutes list several site elements meant to address safety and site function: a driveway dimension to allow fire-truck access, relocation of the mailbox, and an area to be hatched and grassed to help permeate runoff from the building roof. The record does not attribute the presentation of the concept to a single speaker; it notes consultants and regional staff were present and that BETA will provide a written summary of the concept design as a next step.
