We had a good turnout of citizens, staff and members of the Fairmont Planning Board show up. Thank you to Terracon for their presentation and Q&A. We have so much to learn about our small towns history. Not only the great memories were left behind. We have environmentally left some bad things behind as well. The Town of Fairmont is taking a step into the right direction by identifying these enviromental targets. Identification is key. Then we can make a plan to correct the enviromental concern. If you missed the presentation. A printed copy is available at Town Hall. Thank you Town of Fairmont
