JACKSON — Selectmen are expected to decide today about putting an article on the town meeting warrant for a $5.7 million new fire station.
As of now, one selectmen has voted in favor of the article, another is opposed, and the third, who was absent at the last meeting, says he is also opposed — as is the fire chief, who currently feels proposing it at this juncture would be premature.
