LIVERMORE FALLS — Selectmen will hold a public hearing Tuesday to discuss accepting a $350,000 grant for a proposed $4 million medical building to be constructed on Main Street.

The town was awarded the public facilities Community Development Block Grant in May to help Franklin Memorial Hospital build the medical arts center next to the Chuck Wagon Restaurant.

The town is acting as the fiscal agent for the grant.

The hearing will be held at 6:30 p.m. June 7 at the town office.

The building is proposed to be 13,600 to 13,700 square feet. A vacant mall will be torn down for the center to be constructed.

FMH has two medical offices in town that together are about 7,600 square feet. Those offices, Franklin Health Livermore Falls Family Practice and Franklin Memorial Hospital Outpatient Services, would be moved to the new center.

Among the services to be offered would be radiography, family practice, specialists, behavior counseling and a women’s center.

Public comments may be made at Tuesday’s meeting and will be submitted as part of the project development phase.

If anyone can not attend the hearing, comments can be submitted in writing to Town Manager Kristal Flagg, at 2 Main St., Livermore Falls, anytime prior to the hearing. TDD/TTY users can call 711. If someone is physically unable to access any of the town’s programs or services, he or she is asked to call the town office at 897-3321, so accommodations can be made.
