The commission reviewed a consultant's estimate  to remove the bleachers at a cost of $120,000 including contingency and fees and has provided its recommendation.  The town manager has also asked the consultant for a modified proposal that would retain for now the small section of the bleachers used for high school graduation while demolishing the remainder of the bleachers and while still planning for the amphitheater.  The proposal will be distributed and posted online when available.
