The town council held a special meeting on January 7, 2008 for voting whether to appropriate $20,000 from the Library Reserve Fund for an option payment for the purchase of the St. Michael’s Parish complex at 29 Young St.
The turnout was high with well over 100 in attendance. Town Councilors first presented their rationale for recommending the vote. Here’s a synopsis:
Nature’s Way Market is a great addition to South Berwick. Tonight I took a quick trip downtown to get food for dinner. It took all of twenty minutes to drive downtown, shop, and even visit with a few friends who I ran into on Main Street. What a contrast with B. M. (before market) when getting food for dinner meant going to York or Dover and never took less than an hour. Tonight for dinner it’s a “big salad” with organic feta cheese and pine nuts and multi-grain bread. All bought right here in South Berwick!
