The Selectmen held their first meeting of the year and appointed Robert Kavanaugh to the Municipal Scholarship Committee and John Holden to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Williamstown Selectmen Still Waiting On Beaverwood Issue
Engineer John Holden said he will use his experience as the new member of the Zoning Board of Appeals.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The proposed biomass plant at the former Green Mountain Racetrack in Pownal, Vt. is still in a permitting battle and the attorney representing the town has advised the Selectmen to wait until the company files its permit request before taking the next step.
"Beaverwood Energy has been asking that both its application for its biomass facility and its application for its wood pellet manufacturing plan be together," Selectman Ronald Turbin told the board on Monday. "We're still deciding if we want to oppose that and I've spoken to the attorney and the briefs from Beaverwood Energy are scheduled to be filed January 15 and we'll have until February 7 to respond if we want to. That's something we'll have to think about somewhere down the road."
In other business, the Selectmen also appointed Robert Kavanaugh to the Municipal Scholarship Committee.
"I've been in education my entire career and I'm happy to serve," Kavanaugh told the board.
The position is a three-year term and Kavanaugh will have to be sworn in. The board also appointed John Holden to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
"I always felt I should contribute to the town in one way or the other," Holden said.
Holden fills a vacant seat that will expire in 2014.
Town Manager Peter Fohlin also gave his Town Manager's report which can be seen below.
