BOWDOINHAM
With scant discussion, Bowdoinham town meeting voters unanimously authorized selectmen to buy 54 acres at 121 Pond Road to house a future public works facility, using up to $105,000 from the town’s undesignated fund balance.
The town meeting body also unanimously voted in favor of using up to $65,000 from the undesignated fund balance to pay for engineering and design services for a new public works facility.
Town Manager William Post said the town will plant trees and put up a buffer to shield the property from the road to protect property values.
