Future of Colburn School

This Thursday night, the Board of Selectmen will hold a public information session to consider the future of the  Colburn School building. The meeting will be at 7:30pm in the Little Theatre of the High School and will be a joint session of the Board of Selectmen, Planning Board, and Historical Commission.

The Colburn School building--what to do with it--has repeatedly come up in FinCom meetings and discussion of plans for the new Library. The Colburn School was built in 1874 and is recognized by the state as a contributing building to the Colburn Historic District on High Street. State money that will help build the Library is contingent on preserving the building in some location.
