Issues include site distance at two intersections; roadway A (required site easement), and roadway C (will require site easements, a turning lane, and realignment of roadway). All easements shall be graded such that they are passable to all Holden Dept. of Public Works vehicles.
The traffic at the intersections of Union/Wachusett and Union/Highland: Blair has agreed to contribute $200,000 for the cost of improvements.
Public Safety Building Discussion: Chris Lucchesi, Chair of the Public Safety Building Committee, addressed the Board, looking for input on how potential development projects may affect the location of the public safety building.

Ritter stated he felt Salisbury Street was in good condition wide and easily accessible. The Committee is looking into town owned sites because of the cost of land.
