GORHAM — The select board wrestled with a first-time question posed by the state Department of Transportation at Monday evening’s meeting at the request of the nonprofit North Country Healthcare: Does the board favor or not favor allowing a huge permanent advertising billboard to be painted on both sides of the so-called “Black Trestle,” high over the St. Lawrence & Atlantic RR tracks and Route 16, north of the Route 2 North intersection.
Town manager Denise Vallee provided each board member with a colorful photograph of the proposed billboard, which reads “Thanks for placing your trust in North Country Healthcare.”
