behind the Dollar General store, Larry said he has already spoken to the water superintendent
Sue Crossley and the fire department about this, the fire department said since there is no way
to drive straight through the area then there is no reason for a hydrant to be there and Sue said
there really isn’t the funding for it right now, Mike mentioned the investment in the building
that is already there and Larry pointed out that there is a fire hydrant on Park St. Larry asked
Mike if he was thinking of further development in that area and if it would be industrial or
residential, Mike said he wasn’t sure yet since he had not put anything out about it. After a brief
discussion the board agreed to look into this further, Mike did request if approved by the board
could the work be done before winter.
