The aldermen have agreed to put a $4.75 million bond question for the Community Center @ Giorgetti Park on the Town Meeting Day ballot, but also have told members of the recreation staff other capital improvements included in their regular budget will have to wait for better economic times. The Recreation Committee shaved about $32,500 off the city’s $1.9 million Recreation and Parks Department proposal last week, as nightly City Hall budget meetings continued this week. The aldermen are charged with finalizing a budget for the voters, to be warned on the March ballot, by Dec. 31.
A handful of residents for Ira and surrounding towns met to discuss their concerns about Vermont Community Wind Farm’s efforts to put as many as 60 wind turbines in and around the town of 460.
