The mission of the Select Committee on the Future of the Heady House is to evaluate potential uses of the Heady House and to report their findings to the Board of Selectmen by January 15th 2004.

The review shall include (1)potential uses of the house, (2)an estimate of the cost of renovating the house to a level acceptable for that use, (3)an estimate of the ongoing operating costs, (4)who will be responsible for the cost of operation of the house and (5)cost of relocation of the building to another site (this last item added at the meeting--not necessarily the official wording).

The Committee shall be composed of five members of the Weston Community, one of whom will be designated Chair by the Board of Selectmen.  They shall create such volunteer subcommittees and shall engage such volunteer advisors as they deem appropriate.  Initially they shall have no expense budget to do their work, but shall be free to request funding from the Board of Selectmen, if they deem it appropriate and necessary to their work.

The Committee will be appointed at the regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen on Thursday, September 4, 2003, and the Committee shall terminate on February 27, 2004.   We believe further extensions have been made to the charter of this group - but no major reconstruction has been announced.
