The Town of Bay Bulls has extended the deadline for public comment on a proposed liquid asphalt storage and offloading terminal at 2-36 Northside Road to allow the proponent to reconfigure the application and provide more information for the public.
Originally, public submissions were due October 9. That deadline has now been pushed back to November 6.
Town Manager Ashley Wakeham said that the town has already received a number of e-mailed and hand-delivered submissions, in addition to a number of comments on the Town’s social media page.
“The Town would be remiss to not consider the social media tone around this proposal,” said Wakeham. “However, we would prefer that comments be formalized and submitted to awakeham@townofbaybulls.com or hand delivered to the Town Office at 2 Southside Road by 4:00 pm on November 6.”
Concerns raised by residents include a potential spill of hazardous material and possible impacts on the tourism industry.
