Hull Announces Latest Ruling on New High School Construction

At Monday night's Board of Selectmen meeting, Town Manager Jeff Hull announced a recent ruling granting the town's motion to expedite the proceedings concerning Gerry O'Reilly's appeal of the DEP Final Order of Conditions.

Superior Court Judge Kimberly Budd also dismissed O'Reilly's motion to remand the case back to DEP for further consideration, according to Hull. 

In a statement, Hull wrote he believes Budd's decision confirms his belief that construction of the new high school should proceed based on the Final Order of Conditions from the DEP.

Hull wrote:

"The judge's decision confirms my belief that Mr. O'Reilly's appeal is without merit and that the decision to proceed with construction of the new high school based upon the Final Order of Conditions issued by DEP Commissioner Kenneth Kimmell was the right decision and is in the best interest of the residents of Wilmington."
