Shelburne will evaluate wastewater project location COREY MCDONALD STAFF WRITER
The Shelburne Selectboard has asked the consulting group working on the town’s wastewater treatment project to evaluate the cost of consolidating its operations at Turtle Lane, a win for residents opposed to
consolidating at the Crown Road site. Engineers with Aldrich + Elliot previously recommended the town consolidate its operations at the Crown Road facility. The endeavor would cost upwards of $30 million, would be one of the most expensive capital projects in Shelburne’s history and would take years to build.
But after hearing concerns from property owners near the Crown Road facility on Mariners Cove and Mariners Way — and after visiting both sites last week — selectboard members moved to request a study on the efficacy of consolidating at Turtle Lane. “If we’re talking three months of addi-
tional engineering to get these questions answered, for me that feels like the proper thing to do,” selectboard member Matt Wormser said. “If we’re going to drop $30 million, we better be darn sure of the cost and implications of all our options.” See WASTEWATER on page 2
