She said the CPC would present the project to Town Meeting <br />at its original requested amount of $550,000, and that the Selectmen <br />would offer an amendment on the floor to reduce the appropriation. There <br />was a general discussion of the proposal with members agreeing that Mr. <br />Goddard, Director of Facilities, should be able to present the full <br />$550,000 proposal to Town Meeting prior to the amendment. Ms. <br />Fenollosa commented that the original design cost represented a very <br />comprehensive preservation plan, not an extravagant one. <br /> <br /> <br />b.)Visitor Center <br /> - Ms. Manz reported that the Visitor Center project has <br />been withdrawn. <br /> <br /> <br />c.)White House Stabilization <br /> - Ms. Manz also reported that the Board of <br />Selectmen had decided to keep the White House project in the capital <br />budget.
