Tuesday night’s Halifax selectmen’s meeting saw as much thunder inside the Town Hall as outside.
The item on the agenda that has been the talk of the town for weeks was the application from Morse Bros. Cranberries for a major earth removal project to redesign their bogs off Lingan Street. When that application was withdrawn after the meeting and its agenda were posted, people came to Tuesday’s meeting wanting to be heard.
Selectmen were set to meet in their first floor meeting room. That quickly became overwhelmed and the meeting reconvened to the Great Hall upstairs. Video recording capabilities had to be re-set for the new location and, as with the storms outside, the storms inside were also taking their toll.
Chairman Ashley DeSesa told the group that where the application was withdrawn there was no need for conversation. But the people wanted to be heard.
What happens next? We’ll have to wait and see.
