CRUFF

In September the Board of Selectmen (BOS) created a committee to recommend proposed uses for the former firehouse.  The BOS charge to the Committee to Recommend Uses for the Former Firehouse (CRUFF) contained some of the following language.
 
Membership: The committee shall consist of ten members with a representative from the Board of Selectmen; the Commission on the Use of Publicly Owned Properties; the Fire Department; the Recreation Commission; the Town Plan and Zoning Commission; the Board of Finance; the Human Services Commission; the Amity-Woodbridge Historical Society; Beecher Road School PTO; and a student representative from Amity High School.
 
First Selectman Ed Sheehy appointed BOS member Dr. Jim Sabshin as chair of the committee.  Your PTO representative is Jeanette Glicksman.
 
Another of the charges for the committee is to prepare feasible options for the proposed use of the building by means of interviewing various town organizations and the public.  It is to this end that the PTO wishes to gain your input.  The committee has an email address and looks forward to hearing all of your ideas.
