100 Sohier Street/Milliken Field CPC Article Discussion:
Bids were opened today for the Milliken Field Project, no update as of meeting time. We are
anticipating a need for more funds for the project.
Baseball project is moving along and if a new funds and a CPC proposal is needed, the board asks that
they meet and get approval from the Commission first.
The Commission will ask Bryan Dunkelberger for a plan so they can recommend a plan for 100 Sohier
Street, i.e. basketball courts, field space, etc.
The Commission discussed the impact of the loss of space and programs if the Town Hall renovation
project were to happen and affect our services at both 100 Sohier Street and 55 R South Main. The
Commission will draft a statement of their concerns to the BOS.
