Have you been down behind the buildings on Central Street lately, construction continues on the site? Once they finished the excavation and fill work on the 20 Central Street lot the developer started building framing and rebar for their foundation. While they continually deny that the work done is construction work or even that it relates to the foundation for the building, the work ties directly to the foundation plans submitted to the town office in their building permit application. As always, we encourage you to draw your own conclusion. Compare for yourself the foundation plan submitted to the town and a current view of the site from Central Street:
Specific elements of the work can be seen more clearly by focusing on key areas:
Rear wall, harborside, view from 22 Central 
Wall from harborside along 22 Central 
Components along 18 Central from harborside toward road
Construction continues. Yes, there can be no doubt that this extensive framing and rebar work is neither excavation nor fill, the only authorized work on the site. Why has the town enabled the developer to get all this done in advance of a building permit? We certainly do not know, and have been pushing on the matter for months. Perhaps you can help by writing to Scott Bickford, Code Enforcement Officer, and Bill Najpauer, Planning Director.
