The site selection sub-committee meets tomorrow night at SJVTC, beginning at 5:30 pm. The meeting will move quickly into executive session, meaning the site discussion happens behind closed doors. This is required by Maine law and exists for a simple reason: If committee members openly discuss which sites they prefer or what they think land is worth, that information could put the community at a disadvantage when negotiating with a landowner.
Keeping those deliberations private protects the taxpayers' interests. Once a site is selected, the final decision will be made in open session with full public opportunity to weigh in.
We hope to keep the community updated throughout this process.
