The Committee requested that Ms. Tintocalis explain why the project <br /> has had little progress to date. Ms.Tintocalis explained that an appraisal was done for the <br /> parcel which was discussed in Executive Session with the Board of Selectmen (BCS).

Ms. Tintocalis explained that a sliver of land of approximately <br /> 300 sq. ft. is owned by the Historical Society. <br /> Mr. Hornig asked if the scope of the project has remained the same since the initial <br /> appropriation in 2015. Ms. Tintocalis explained that the project has remained the same in <br /> regards to the bike node but she would need to review the original proposal. Mr. Hornig asked <br /> if the bike node is going to be the only item addressed and if so then the project is different <br /> than originally presented. Ms. Tintocalis said yes. Mr. Wolk asked if there was a concern with <br /> condo owners in the area. Ms. Tintocalis responded that the redevelopment project will not <br /> move forward because the condo owners are concerned with excess noise. Ms. Fenollosa <br /> 1 <br />
