BREWSTER Negotiations between Brewster, represented by Town Administrator Peter Lombardi, and the 400-member Save Millstone Road group, represented by former selectman Bill Henchy, have reignited following a near collapse.
The town and group seemed tantalizingly close to an agreement at Monday’s Select Board meeting, with only a few issues dividing them regarding the revamp of Millstone Road. We need to resolve the question of the geometry of the road and don t go into a black box (for the design). There needs to be involvement along the way, Henchy said.
A $10 million road bond was passed in 2015, and attention turned to the $5.7 million Millstone project in 2018. The town held three outreach meetings, one each in 2018, 2019 and 2020. Nonetheless, opposition grew even as the project was scaled down.
