BRATTLEBORO â Lynde Place could soon be the name of a portion of Elm Street that forks off to Flat Street.
âStanley Lynde was a well-known resident who owned a motorcycle shop at the base of where this road segment meets Flat Street,â states a memo from town staff proposing the name.
The Select Board will consider the name change and other agenda items at its meeting held remotely Tuesday at 6:15 p.m. A state official known as the E911 coordinator, the townâs fire chief and dispatch supervisor recommended renaming the road to Lynde Place.
Editor of the Reformer:
I d like to acknowledge all the tireless volunteers sitting on local non-profit boards during this pandemic. There is nothing like an economic shutdown to accentuate the vital role of officers and their fiduciary responsibility to non-profits in our community. With heartbreak and panic, these advisors found themselves minimizing services, staffing and events indefinitely.
As Board President of the Boys & Girls Club of Brattleboro, I feel confident in speaking for all local leaders when describing how deeply connected our relationship with board members has become. Not only do we spend more time than imaginable with these people, our time together is an ongoing test in listening, negotiation and collaborative decision making. Obviously, without trust this process doesn t work at all.
