#1) Selectmen unanimously approved the request of Manafort Brothers to renew their earth removal permit for Wilmington High School, extending it from July 21 to December 31. Town Manager Jeff Hull noted the project is in “its final stages,” with work expected to be completed by October 23. Current projects include creating a parking lot area off of Adams Street and installing a multi-purpose field off of Wildwood Street.
#2) Selectmen unanimously approved four requests from Verizon New England and/or Reading Municipal Light to add two poles on Church Street as part of the high school project; two poles on Lowell Street; and one pole on Jacquith Road, while removing an existing pole on Church Street.

The Senior Center’s Choir has also been invited to perform. A rain date is scheduled for Thursday, August 6. Selectwoman Judy O’Connell abstained from the vote as she’s a board member of the alumni organization.
