Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
In an unusual but nonetheless heartening show of interest in our town\u2019s
\ngovernance, scores and scores of Hanover residents filled the Large Hearing
\nRoom of Town Hall this evening (Monday as I write this) to discuss the
\npotential privatization of the town\u2019s transfer station. At the start of
\nthe hearing, the room was filled to capacity and additional chairs were
\nbrought in to attempt to accommodate the large number of standees.<\/p>\n
The Selectmen proceeded to introduce the issue, Hanover resident and
\nRecycling Solutions, Inc. business co-owner Michael Mowbray introduced
\nhimself and proposal, and Recycling Solution\u2019s engineer discussed the
\ndesign. At the conclusion of the presentation, it became apparent that
\nthere were a large number of people still standing in the hallway and
\nunable to hear the proceedings.<\/p>\n
Concerns were raised regarding the capacity of the room and fire safety
\nissues. With safety in mind, the Selectmen voted to close the hearing and
\ncontinue discussion of the issue at Town Meeting. An article appears on
\nthe Annual Town Meeting Warrant that requests that the Town offer a
\nnon-binding opinion on the efficacy of the privatization of the transfer
\nstation. It appears as Article 41 of the 66 article warrant. <\/p>\n
Annual Town Meeting begins Monday, May 5th at 8:00 p.m., immediately
\nfollowing the Special Town Meeting that begins at 7:30 p.m. Both meetings
\nwill be held at the Hanover High School. The Annual Town Election will be
\nheld Saturday, May 10th from 8:00 a.m. \u2013 6:00 p.m. also at Hanover High
\nSchool. See you there! Your interest in our town is commendable; let’s
\nkeep it up!<\/p>\n
