From the minutes
“On a motion by Selectman Keohan, seconded by Vice Chair Quintal, the Board voted to make a motion at 2025 Fall Town Meeting to reduce the amount allocated under Article 4: Capital Recommendations - Item A9: Visitor's Center Addition from $378,518.00 to $178,518.00. Selectman Canty stated that he believes it is important that the Board expresses their concerns to Town Meeting. Selectman Keohan advocated that the Board vote "no", stating that Ms. Filson, Mr. Malaguti, and Mr. Lydon have outlined their concerns and he stands behind their advice. Selectman Iaquinto stated that the need for the Visitor's Center is clear but she is still concerned with the significant difference between the amount potentially needed, adding that moving forward, she would like to see multiple options when there are projects presented to the Board. Chair Golden stated that he agrees with both viewpoints, but agrees that the project is time sensitive due to the rising cost of construction. Roll Call 2/3: Golden-No, Quintal-No, Canty-Yes, Iaquinto-Yes, Keohan-No.” (Motion: Keohan, second: Quintal)
