After a bid came in well over budget for a second time on the Chilmark School HVAC project, selectmen said this week the town will try a fresh tack.

Chilmark will call a special town meeting in March to ask voters for additional funds for the multi-million dollar project to build a new firehouse and Tri-town ambulance building.

The Chilmark select board this week proposed a one-time plan to pay for the regional high school renovation project.

Signs will go up around Squibnocket Pond reminding residents that the use of pesticides is a violation of town zoning bylaws. The select board agreed this week to add the signs at the request of the board of health.

Preliminary work will get under way soon at the commercial fishing dock, after the Chilmark select board awarded a bid for a site assessment to Childs Engineering Tuesday afternoon.

The Peaked Hill Pastures affordable housing project is headed to town meeting as a concept plan rather than a concrete spending article.
