The Downtown Study Committee met with Verizon representatives last night to follow up on the possibility of putting utility lines underground along Rte. 109 in the downtown. It would be a multi-year project, with time perhaps needed to acquire the monies (2% surcharge on any land line in town – 31% do not have land lines), a year to do the engineering, and then a construction season. Expensive proposition – Verizon would not even ballpark an estimated amount or share costs of other towns.
