A request to endorse the renomination of Dennis Giombetti to the Metropolitan Planning Organization was approved.
There was a discussion regarding the problems involved at the Axton Cross property. Owners have expressed an intent to demolish the building on the property before winter sets in. Permits for this would require testing and reviews from the EPA, DEP and the Conservation Commission. The Selectmen expressed frustration over previous attempts to collect taxes in arrears on the property. A motion was made and seconded to send a letter to the owners expressing the need for a serious discussion to resolve the tax debt before permits are considered.
