State officials would first have to clear the plans before anything is finalized, and the town boards will likely see it, too. Mayor Tom Stevens told me that he'll make sure there's plenty of opportunities for residents to have their opinions heard as well.
The decision from the state is expected within a 150-day window (September at the very latest).
