The board is also expected to schedule an informational meeting on the Route 56 water and sewer districts on June 20 at 6 p.m.

Public criticism from several district residents has been leveled at the town over continuing with the construction of the infrastructure to service the two districts due to what those residents say is the high cost of the work.

The board will also hear department head reports and reports from committee members and consider other town business that may come up.
