  1. According to the May 2023 BvA

    STM 11/19 - Stone Bridge- Balance $34,000
    STM 10/20 - Stone Bridge- Balance $49,337.21

    The Selectman requested $85,000 and spent $1,662.79 over the past 4+ years.

    What about the plans that were drawn up, the cost for all that prior to the presentation must not be included in this funding.
    I remember a walking bridge, narrow driving bridge and a two lane plan...........were they free?

    I think we have a allocation problem and a accounting issue.

  2. Just to be clear. Funding from another source had to be available prior to the 11/19 STM because we commissioned an RFP on 10/15/2018 and received one prior to the request for funding. How was this funded?

    This all started over 5 years ago and we've spent more money on proposals than the project .............IHMO
