The Sudbury Select Board created a Liberty Ledge/Sewataro Advisory Committee during the Tuesday, February 24 meeting of the board. The committee will be tasked with a simple mission: “The Committee shall explore possible uses of this town-owned property and offer an advisory report on recommended uses to the Select Board.”
The goals and objectives of the committee offer additional details:
The Committee will first start by making sure that every member of the Committee has read the Liberty Ledge / Sewataro Compilation Report. At the first meeting, if there are any questions, limited to the contents of the Report, such questions will be attempted to be answered at the second meeting.
From the second meeting onwards, the Committee will start its work in earnest. It is
expected that the Committee will meet every two to three weeks.
There will be at least one meeting, and at most two meetings, which are solely devoted to gathering public input.
The Committee will have at least one site visit. If possible, a second site visit could take
place while the summer camp is in session.
The composition of the committee calls for specific skills in prospective members. There are 7 seats, one of which is already filled by Select Board member Radha Gargeya.
- One Select Board member (Radha Gargeya)
- One member with expertise/professional experience in each of the following areas
- Recreation
- Accessibility/Disability
- Planning/Zoning
- Housing
- Finance
- One at-large member
Residents interested in serving on the committee must apply by the Friday, March 27 deadline. Details on applications and the charge of the committee can be found on the Town website here.
The formation of the advisory committee comes as the Select Board concluded work on a summary report that compiled relevant information to inform the work of the advisory committee. Members of the committee will be required to read that report at the outset of the process.
