"Mr. O’Reilly has filed an appeal to Superior Court relative to the Final Order of Conditions issued by DEP. The Town is reviewing the complaint with counsel, and we will continue to do everything within our power to move the construction of the new high school forward, and to minimize the delay and associated costs caused by the appeal. The Town believes that the appellant’s claims are without merit, and we remain eminently confident that DEP’s decision will stand."
