developer = Fidelity family wealth investor. Super secret!

There is absolutely no secret deal. If the voters give the BOS the power to sell the land then it will probably be put out to auction as other town owned property has been sold this year. There is no deal or guarantee that any particular company will get the land.

The parcel is land locked and of no use to the town. With that said if the land is sold it will be sold at the highest possible price so that the taxpayers win. The property will then be on the tax rolls so it can help support the tax base grow.

I hope that help explains the situation. The current BOS does not agree on everything, but on this issue the BOS voted 5-0 which should make most people feel that putting this land out for sale is a good thing.

Stephen Campbell

Sorry Mr Campbell, I don't buy it.

The land is adjacent to a parcel that is owned by Fidelity Investments and they have made no secret about wanting to expand the parcel they hold.

Please don't insult our intelligence. The timing of this after all these years of the town owning the land and it being landlocked is no way a coincidence.

I've said it before, you should have just stayed on the Budd Comm, you are way over your head on the BOS.

I ask those commenting to refrain from personal attacks directed at others, as per our Terms of Use.

Despite the fact nobody cares what Reid says.

As someone who lives in one of the many flooding areas down stream from this plot, I'm very concerned about building up stream. As the plot plan so clearly shows, this is wet land. How could the local, state and fed conservation groups allow any type of change to this area? Can the plot be split and sell of the southerly end?

@Mr Campbell. Once again you show your true colors when someone doesn't agree with you. Like I said, "I don't buy it" and anyone in the know, knows that the owner of the old Furniture World warehouse has some big plans for the area.

Feel free to step down from the BOS anytime, you'd make some of us very happy!

Mr. Campbell, please stay right where you are. Your diligence and willingess to stand up to Ms. Reid (and her ilk) is greatly appreciated by the vast majority of the community. Ms. Reid, just becuase you are not aware of something does not make it a secret deal. If the owner of the old Furniture World has big plans and Fidelity has big plans, then it is time to put the lot on auction and get some $ for the taxpayers. Maybe we'll get lucky and have a bidding war. Since I am lucky enough to not be in the know on the Furniture World plans, i think Fidelity would be a great option. This would result in more jobs, more revenue for our town, both are positive companies. I would also posit that the fact that you know plans for old Furniture World owner but not the Fidelity shows that the Fidelity folks are much more saavy business people than the Furniture World team. Since this property is virtually worthless to us as a town, we might as well sell it and get the revenue. Perhaps we could use the additional funds to offset the cost of a remodeling the HS or PD. Bob G, i think these are valid concerns and all would need to be investigated by the planning board correct?

And then last night, we see Stephen Campbell voting against a warrant article to fix a drainage issue that's causing damage to residents property. Bob G, fight this with everything you've got. Or you will be standing in front of the budget committee with the selectman's rep telling you that your road is due to be fixed in three years when you have water pouring across your driveway.

It looks like most of the lot is prime Wetlands with a lot of ancillary drainage. If its placed on the Warrant, I'm going to say no to this sale.

Where is the time line @Riley Reid? You have presented me with reason to doubt and I hope you have some proof.
