STARK — In their first meeting since the March town meeting, Stark selectmen focused their attention on severe bank erosion that is threatening the town-owned Blake Cemetery on the Upper Ammonoosuc River.
Meeting Wednesday, Chairman Albert Cloutier said the board has not met since March 4 due to the governor’s COVID-19 order that groups over 10 should not gather.
