Article 30. Authorize Grant of Easement to Verizon - 835-923 Old Marlboro Road

ARTICLE 30. To determine whether the Town will authorize the Select Board to grant or deed an easement, on terms and conditions acceptable to the Select Board, over a parcel of land owned by the Town at 835-923 Old Marlboro Road, for the purposes of providing and maintaining an easement for telecommunications services to Verizon New England Inc, and its successors and assigns; or take any other action relative thereto.

Article Explanation

This article would authorize the Select Board to formalize an easement for Verizon to provide telecommunications services such as phone and internet to the new Concord Middle School on Old Marlboro Road. It was determined during construction that Verizon’s prior telecommunications connections to the site were not documented in a recorded easement. This easement does not contemplate any new wireless communications towers or facilities, only typical conduits for wired communications.     

Article Motion

Mr. Howell moves that the Town take affirmative action on Article 30 as printed in the Warrant.
