MARION There are five candidates vying for two spots on the Planning Board in the May 14 Town Election.
On the Ballot are incumbent Andrew Daniel, Alanna Nelson and Tom Friedman of the Energy Management Committee, former Selectman Jon Henry and lifelong resident Tucker Burr.
While Daniel is running for reelection to his position on the board, the second open position was left by the resignation of Kristen St. Don-Campbell.
The vacancy left by St. Don-Campbell has caused procedural issues for the board, including limiting the acting board during the approval process of a new Tabor Academy student center and library.
