The property will not be rezoned under this measure, although councilors said they generally supported developing the former school site. The Council sent a proposed $50,000 transfer from the Reserve Fund for legal services to its Finance Sub-Committee. It also referred proposed multi-use zoning and restrictions on auto dealerships to committees and the Planning Board for further review. The Town Manager reported that $70 million in bonds had been secured for the next stage of school construction at a 3.694% interest rate, with groundbreaking planned for this summer after school ends.
