LIVERMORE — A public hearing will be held 6 p.m. March 12 at the town office/fire station complex, 10 Crash Road.
The meeting will provide information on two proposed businesses – a marijuana cultivation facility being proposed at 112 Botka Hill Road and a boat operation on Federal Road – and questions to be considered during the April 23 annual Town Meeting referendum vote.
The marijuana cultivation facility is being proposed by Robert Tarrant. He wants to be closer to his marijuana store in Livermore Falls, Administrative Assistant Carrie Judd noted Friday, March 1.
“I think it will be good to get this out there,” Planning Board Chair Travis Tardif said Sunday evening, March 3. “It is such a residential area. There have been some concerns about it.”
Matt and Amanda Ackley propose a boat business near the former Carriage House Café across from Dollar General on Federal Road. They work on boats, wrap them and sell boat products, Judd said. The property is being split, there is no number yet, she noted.
Residents will also be able to ask questions about the articles to be voted on at the April 23 annual Town Meeting to be held by referendum vote. Polls will be open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Livermore Community Center on Church Street. Last August it was decided to hold all elections going forward at the center.
The proposed budget for 2024-2025 is $2.074 million, not counting county and educational taxes, an increase of $162,067. That is an increase of 8.48% over the $1.912 million budget approved by voters for 2023-2024.
This year voters will be asked to approve purchasing and financing up to $75,000 for a used backhoe for the Highway Department.
Voters will also consider approving $5,000 for the summer recreation program held at the Area Youth Sports Building in Livermore Falls. In January Livermore Falls and Jay approached Livermore about the program, which is held at the Area Youth Sports Building, 25 Cedar Street in Livermore Falls.
Livermore Falls and Jay were seeking $8,637 from Livermore for the program with the others contributing roughly $17,200 each, it was noted then.
