WEST PARIS – A preliminary plan for short- and long-term road improvement and maintenance has been developed, Town Manager Donald Woodbury told selectmen last week.
“(Road Commissioner) Bill Keach and I have looked at most of the roads we have in town and have a preliminary plan,” Woodbury said, “but there still is a lot of work to be done before we present a formal report. However, we should have a final report before the end of the September time period we were given.”
The town manager also reported that the town has received $23,000 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to pay for repairs from the rainstorm damage in early June.
The amount received covers 75 percent of the damage.
At Thursday’s selectmen’s meeting, the board OK’d closing the town office on Thursday, Sept. 15, and Tuesday, Sept. 27, so the town can host workshops on updating procedures concerning motor vehicle registrations and to help prepare the office staff for fall elections.
“I don’t see any problem with closing the office on those days as it is important to have our staff up to date on changes in procedures connected with state affairs,” Chairman Jim Johnston said.
