WINDHAM — A judge has granted the town permission to hold a Special Town Meeting vote on a $1.25 million second access road at the new high school.
Judge Larry Smukler announced his decision yesterday, a day after local officials petitioned Superior Court for the meeting.
The deliberative session is scheduled for Aug. 12 at Town Hall and the vote Sept. 9. The bond article needs a 60 percent majority for approval.
The secondary road would be a continuation of the main entrance off Route 111, and connect to Castle Hill Road. Selectmen plan to walk the access road Monday, the same day as the public hearing on the road’s layout.
