Public Comments:
Cynthia Abraham commented that the greenhouse is missing from the high school plan and that an additional restroom may be necessary near the gym facilities. Regarding the Town Hall, she noted that a signed off program should be in place before actual square footage needs are addressed.
Ms. Engel noted that there is a program in place that was based on a new building but is being adjusted for renovation purposes.
