Committee Charge
The Committee shall be responsible for providing a vision for the future use of the Prescott School by gathering input from citizens, users and potential users, reviewing conceptual designs, making recommendations and acting in an advisory capacity for the Prescott School. The Committee's work should include, but not be limited to the following:

1. Identify realistic options for maintaining the building to stabilize the structure and preserve its historic value while serving the Town's needs. This shall include a discussion of its current condition.

3. Develop and recommend a plan to the Select Board that maximizes the best uses of the building and site for the short (next 5 years) and long term (next 20+ years).
Recommendations should be based on a complete analysis of available options and demonstrate fiscal responsibility. To demonstrate fiscal responsibility, the Committee shall develop estimated costs and project time-frame associated with any recommendation.

4. Develop informational materials about any proposed re-use of the Prescott School and conduct a public information program. This shall include at least one or more public hearings to gather input from the community.
