Four of the five Town Board members said on Tuesday that they support the town not sending the plans for the new Senior Center to the town's regulatory boards for a full review. Only the board's newest member, Councilman Ian Calder-Piedmonte, far left, said he'd prefer that the town allow the boards to do a review, but also said he plans to abstain from the vote on the matter since he was not present for most of the discussions of the project over the last two years.
