WAYLAND -- January 8, 2021, Wayland Select Board adjourns straight into executive session on River's Edge project.

Chair Cherry Karlson said open discussion "may have a detrimental effect on the litigating, negotiating, or bargaining position of the town." Members Lea Anderson, Dave Watkins, Mary Antes and Tom Fay joined her in support; Anderson seconded the motion. No public comment was offered, though Karlson noted a written comment from resident Annette Lewis on a separate wastewater easement matter.
