Will Falmouth Kick the Farmers Market Off Main Street?
On the agenda at Monday night's meeting of the Falmouth Board of Selectmen: A proposed special events policy stating that Main Street events should be "avoided if at all possible" in July and August.
The Falmouth Farmers Market, long held weekly in Peg Noonan Park on Main Street during the summer months, may lose its spot if town selectmen approve a new special events policy that discourages events on main streets in July and August.
The proposed policy states, in part,
"During the Months of July and August, approval of Special Events will be made only after careful consideration of the effect that the event will have on parking and traffic congestion in the proposed area. For example, special events on the main streets of the villages of Falmouth will be given careful consideration and will be avoided if at all possible during July and August."
Discussion of and action on the changed policy is on the agenda for Monday's meeting of the Falmouth Board of Selectmen, which begins its public session at 7 p.m. in Town Hall following a 6 p.m. executive session on wind turbines and workers compensation claim settlement.
