Ms. McKenna explained that the Board of Selectmen (BOS) had accepted the Visitor Center Revised Programmatic Report, but had not endorsed it. She said they then went on to unanimously approve the funding of the Town portion of the design work, $220,500. In response to a question from Ms. Fenollosa, Ms. McKenna explained that this meant that the BOS did not fully endorse all the programmatic elements of the Report, but wanted to see it move along through the design phase. Ms. McKenna said there would be plenty of opportunity for public input in the coming months. She also explained that the FY15 design work was a recommendation in the Traffic and Pedestrian Study suggested in the initial Visitor Center Report, not a recommendation in the Report itself.
