Board of Education at their next scheduled meeting: “EDC has hired an outside consultant to create an economic development plan to buttress the town’s obligation to update the Plan of Conservation & Development. In support of completing this economic development plan, EDC considers it imperative to have a fundamental understanding of the direction of Wheeler High School. EDC encourages the Board of Education to quickly decide the status of Wheeler High School as this decision is an essential component of the overall plan of economic development.” Motion passed unanimously.
A motion was moved by Christine and seconded by David for EDC to support the revision and change being brought forth at the February 27, 2012 Special Town Meeting to “Amend the Hewitt Property uses to allow a full liquor license at Buon Appetito Restaurant.” The motion passed unanimously.
