Jennifer Porter, an attorney with CSG Law, said she was representing the Tunnel to Towers Foundation on a veteran housing project at 3915 Austin Boulevard.

Porter told the board, “We were granted approval from the zoning board, just over a month ago. We are in the process of gearing up towards an anticipated closing at the November with the county.” She said the foundation submitted a demolition permit application at the end of the prior week and was asking the town to consider a waiver of permitting fees to move the project forward.

Supervisor John Ferretti praised the foundation during the meeting, saying, “tunnel to towers is an incredible, incredible operation. Thank you for everything you do for our veterans and their families, and we will absolutely work with you to make sure that there's no unnecessary burdens or fees on Tunnel to Towers because you do God's work.”

The transcript records no formal vote on the fee waiver in the provided excerpt. The town indicated it would work with the foundation on permitting issues.
