Davis Thayer Reuse Advisory Cmte plan for Open House (10/20 & 10/21), recommends "Expression of Interest" be issued (audio)

FM #1080 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1080 in the series. 

This session of the radio show shares the audio for the Davis Thayer Reuse Committee meeting held on Tuesday, October 17, 2023 in the Council Chambers. 

The committee discussed plans for the open house, additional advertising (use of the sign board at the school), capture ideas from visitors, etc.

Members expressed interest in issuing an “Expression of Interest” to see what it could turn up and perhaps further the discussion. Would need to recommend for Council to authorize. Discussion on timing to issue in January and timed for the 100th anniversary of the building.

Question raised and clarified that the deed search when the Town took possession from the School did reveal naming of the building needed to be Davis Thayer but there was no other deed restriction to the Town for anything, use etc.

The recording runs about 66 minutes, so let’s listen to the Davis Thayer Reuse Committee meeting. Audio file -> https://franklin-ma-matters.captivate.fm/episode/fm-1080-davis-thayer-reuse-cmte-mtg-10-17-23
