AMENIA — Plans for construction of a new Town Garage and companion salt shed moved ahead with the selection of an engineering firm at the regular meeting of the Town Board on Thursday, Oct. 3.
A total of 6 firms had responded to the town’s invitation to submit bids. That number was reduced to three following review by the Town Engineer John Andrews.
After further consideration by the Town Board, CPL of Poughkeepsie was selected and awarded the contract by unanimous vote of the board. CPL will create construction drawings for the new town garage and salt shed.
Discussion about drafting a local cannabis law hit a snag as the Town Board attempted to consider comments received from the Planning Board. Board members realized that they were looking at differing versions of the comments.
The unanimous decision was to delay further discussion until a consistent version of the planning board comments could be provided.
