LIVERMORE Selectpersons Tuesday night, Feb. 16, were asked to consider the formation of Economic Development and Capital Improvement committees.
An Economic Development committee could influence private investments and drive responsible growth, administrative assistant to the selectpersons Aaron Miller said.
“It would create a vision for Livermore, ultimately attracting and retaining jobs as well as leading to increased tax revenue,” he said. “Economic development helps protect our local economy from economic downturns and improve the town’s quality of life.”
Livermore is seeing a number of developments coming in, Miller said. Such a committee could help prepare the town and work with the Planning Board to strengthen ordinances or propose new ones, he said.

LIVERMORE Selectpersons have voted to pay Brad Buzzell $150 per storm to clear the town’s section of the Androscoggin River Bridge sidewalk.
Previously, Buzzell had been paid $90 per storm to clear the sidewalk. He requested the increase for this winter, after the town had set its budget for the year.
Selectpersons had discussed the issue several times, but took no action while waiting for additional information.

LIVERMORE Selectpersons on Tuesday night agreed signs listing winter rules should be erected at the Brettuns Pond town beach area.
“Over the past seven or eight years during ice fishing there’d be a road plowed out to go across the pond,” Selectperson Brett Deyling said. “At some point, the rocks were moved to get shacks off the pond.”
As soon as the ice is thick enough to walk on, that area is being kept plowed all winter long, he said.
