Good Friday morning residents of Sangerville. I am happy to report we have had another positive week in the town of Sangerville. We started the week with our veterans day event.

We finished work on the West Rd. this week and that is greatly improved, all the people that use that road to access their property responded very positively to our work. The West Rd. has an interesting history, when it was built in the 1800s it was part of the main county road between Bangor and Parkman. I am not sure where it went from Parkman. When Scott Reynolds was doing excavation for the culvert replacement last week, he dug into some of the original wood corduroy material of the roadbed from the early 1800’s and that wood was still intact. You have to admire that when they built anything in the 19th century, it was built to last.

On the subject of road work, we are mostly focusing on finishing some small projects we need to complete before winter over the next week or two.

Our town hall committee from earlier this year was brought together for an informal work session on Wednesday night with the select board and me. This resulted in a very positive exchange of ideas. Some of that discussion will be put on the agenda for next week’s regular select board meeting. I think we may have openings for additional people on that committee as well. If you are interested contact us in the town office.

Also, on the town hall, our engineers were here this week and did some survey and more planning work. Steve, the lead engineer is planning to provide me with some contact information for roofers that we can use for this project, I am still hopeful we can get some roof work done this year.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Brian
