Town of Buxton
Selectmen’s Report
2015/2016
(Cont.)
The new bridge in Bar Mills between Buxton and Hollis is progressing on schedule. The cement
abutments for the bridge structure are all in place and it is anticipated that the bridge will be
completed next year.
In comparison to last winter, we would have to say last year we had the winter that would not quit;
this year was the winter that never came. Last year we saw more than 90 inches of snow while
this year we have had around 40 inches. Last year there were many days with temperatures below
zero; this year there were many days with temperatures over 50 degrees.
Community Days was scaled back last summer to one day that included a road race, parade, and
fireworks. At the present time, there are no plans for a Community Day event this summer. We are
in hopes that individuals will come forward to help organize something that could be done this fall.
As is true every year, we know that this town could not exist as we know it without all of the
employees, board members, trustees, committee members, group leaders, and other volunteers in
our community. To all of you, we say “Thank You”.
Respectfully submitted,
