Reason(s) for Article:
At the May 2004 Town Meeting, Article 49 was approved authorizing the Board of
Selectmen to acquire by gift, purchase, or eminent domain the above referenced
roadways. This process was needed in order for the Town to obtain fee ownership in
the roadways, which is required prior to roadway acceptance. By accepting these
roads as public ways the Town will receive additional monies from the state under the
Chapter 90 program for future roadway repair.
