The Selectboard has decided to extend its discussion regarding the Searles School project, scheduling the next meeting for July 27. The ongoing talks focus on the future use and potential renovations of the Searles School building.
During the most recent meeting, board members reviewed several proposals related to the building’s redevelopment. These included options for community use, possible leasing arrangements, and necessary structural improvements. No final decision was reached, prompting the board to continue the conversation at a later date.
Community members attended the session to express their views on the project. Some residents voiced support for preserving the historic structure, while others raised concerns about costs and long-term maintenance. The board acknowledged these perspectives and indicated that further input would be considered before any action is taken.
The Selectboard stated that additional information and analysis are required to make an informed decision. The board will revisit the topic at its meeting scheduled for July 27, where further discussion and possible votes may occur.
