Appearances:

- Holly (Salera) Fitzgerald has been actively looking for a retail location for some time and proposed a temporary use of the Masonic building. Memorial Day to Columbus Day would be the season used. The retail location would be open four days a week from 10-6pm. Temporary meaning a lease would need to be held with the town. This would be a stepping stone for a more permanent location in Bradford. The amount of used square footage is yet to be determined. The Planning Board is in support of the proposed temporary use. Harry Wright a member of the public is in support of the Masonic building being put to use. Tracey Quigley from the Historical Society is in full support of the Masonic building being put to use as well. A joint meeting with the Select Board and the Planning Board will need to be held. It is not clear if the Planning Board can host and if the meeting needs to be noticed to the public. Mel Pfeifle suggested if it would be helpful that the Selectmen prepare some questions regarding what is required to keep things moving in a timely manner. Matt Monahan from Central New Hampshire Regional Planning Commission will confirm the requirements for the joint meeting with the Planning Board and the Select Board.
