Critics urged the Town Board this past week to slow the advance of the new Senior Center project, the largest municipal construction project in the town's history, and let the town Planning Board conduct a review of the project. Supervisor Kathee Burke-Gonzalez said the board will continue working on the fine points of the project, and trying to find ways to cut some costs from the more than $31 million price tag, but the board is committed to advancing the project as it is designed.
