Board: Sabattus Selectmen

Met: Tuesday night

Road priorities

Issue: The Androscoggin Valley Council of Governments has given Sabattus a list of four potential road projects to organize in order of priority.

The scoop: They are: Pleasant Hill Road, Greene Street, Route 132 from the intersections of Stonewall Road to the town line, and Route 126 from the intersections of Route 9 to Route 132.

Up next: The projects still have to go out seeking state funds, and Sabattus would have to come up with some money as a match. The board will revisit the list.

New sidewalks 10 months off

Issue: Residents voted at town meeting to provide a local match to a new downtown sidewalk project.

The scoop: Plans now have to go out to a consultant. The town has identified five consultant contenders.

Up next: Ground isn’t expected to be broken until after next July.
