The town meeting was convened to deliberate on the proposed discontinuation of a section of Old Econ Hill Road. The town's consulting planner explained that the town-owned right-of-way had not been maintained or used for decades and that the proposal involved deeding sections of the abandoned right-of-way to abutting property owners. Discussion focused on concerns from property owners regarding the accuracy of survey maps, the potential loss of road frontage, and the reasoning behind the discontinuation. The town clarified that this specific discontinuation did not include other town-owned parcels and that existing rights-of-way and usage would remain unaffected by the action.
