I attempted to check to see if any Public Meetings were being held with our Zoning Administrator - But none have. Skip provided me with the following information on the project, which is still at a standstill as of yesterday when I went by:
"The tower being added to the side of the Fairpoint building on Main Street in the village is governed by Act 79, a recent Vermont State Statute, and it is exempt from local permit requirements under that statute if it meets certain dimensional limits, which it does. There were no public hearings. Fairpoint has stopped construction temporarily so it could address neighbor's concerns about radiation. A Fairpoint representative has told me that the tower will produce no more radiation than a Microwave in your kitchen, and it will be no taller than what is already there."
