Skowhegan Town Manager Christine Almand sent a memo out to selectmen last week in preparation for the state’s lifting of the pandemic mask mandate on Monday.
“I will continue requiring face coverings in our buildings until the Board has had a chance to have a discussion and make some decisions,” Almand said in the note.
Should selectmen decide to no longer require face coverings, Almand will require town employees and selectmen to provide proof of vaccination prior to allowing them indoors without face coverings “to be consistent with legal obligations and guidance.”

The airport, also known as Curtis Field, has undergone extensive updates in the last 14 years largely funded by grants from the Federal Aviation Administration, according to Pittsfield Town Manager Kathryn Ruth. The town has received well over $5 million in grants for various airport projects since she started in the role in 2002, Ruth said.
