ROXBURY After postponing their indoor annual Town Meeting due to COVID-19 gathering restrictions, officials and residents are hoping for a successful outdoor meeting in heated tents Sunday.
Selectman Tim Derouche said the noon town meeting will take place outside the Town Office at 1095 Roxbury Road.
“We’re putting two large tents up in the parking lot and bringing some heaters, chairs and two sets of microphones with speakers,” he said. “Dress warm. We’re going to have heaters, but it might not be effective, depending upon the weather.”
There will be social distancing and residents are asked to wear masks to prevent the spread of the virus. Sanitizer will be available.
SHELBURNE â âI was just doing my due diligence; I had a bunch of questions about the Riverlands project,â District 1 Executive Councilor Joe Kenney (R-Wakefield) said when asked why at the Feb. 3 governor and Executive Council meeting he had tabled a motion on a grant for the Androscoggin Riverlands Project.
âMy attention is drawn whenever I see a large swath of land in my district being transferred where state dollars are involved,â he said at an interview on Feb. 19 at the Town & Country Inn.
Kenney tabled a motion authorizing the N.H. Department of Environmental Services to award a $761,668 Aquatic Resource Mitigation Fund grant to the Maine-based Mahoosuc Land Trust.
