It is with great pleasure I make the following announcement.
After months upon months of very tough and thorough research, meetings, and plan design (and changes), the Alna planning board accepted the permit as complete tonight. More discussion followed, and then the Alna Shoreland Zoning permit for reconstructing the railroad Including the bridge and retaining walls) was approved. The only stipulation being any design changes must be approved by the town before they are implemented.
Many thanks to Jason who has done the bulk of the application. He has had lots of help from several of us, but he just has an attention to detail and a mind numbing appreciation for rules and regs that no one else can even touch, that really made the permit complete.
So, done with one permit. Now for about 3 more..
