So the very good news is that the Town has made several
calls and sent letters to Mr. Hanney proposing a meeting to find a mutually
agreeable way forward that will “preserve the building and put it into constructive use", and to "ensure the integrity and survival of the
building”, and to see to it that the building is put to the uses as originally
intended. The letter was sent January 7
and a reply from Mr. Hanney was required in 10 days. I am under the
impression that one final phone call may be made to encourage a meeting before
litigation is initiated.
Therein is the not so good news...
If Mr. Hanney genuinely wants to sort out things, the Town
will either let the Selectmen work it out on their own, or the townspeople will
need to make their wishes known soon, and thus allow the Selectmen to pursue an
informed direction.
...and the sort of bad good news, if you know what I mean...
If Mr. Hanney chooses not to respond to the letter or chooses to maintain the status quo, the BOS can tell the Town Counsel to proceed with a demand for injunctive relief.

Of course one can never anticipate all the machinations that
would come along with this process!
