At the Board of Selectmens’ meeting yesterday 1/11th, the town administrator gave an overview of the proposed capital projects for this year’s budget and April’s town meeting.
The list included:
- Election equipment (per state mandate)
- A dump truck and a tractor
- Melican Middle school roof repairs
- Town Hall repairs (also requested from the CPA fund, total amount of $190k will come out of the the general fund or the CPA or be shared, see calendar for Thursday hearing on CPA public hearing)
- Lincoln Street School repairs (also requested from MSBA)
- A replacement of the Police and Fire Communications Tower located at the Police Station at 211 Main Street. The plan includes $150k estimated cost for this project, but the hope is that contracts could be negiotiated so that the cost be defrayed by additional carriers on the new tower. (Also note: an application for a tower has been submitted recently by TMobile to locate a tower less than 1000ft away at 265 Main Street, across from St Bernadette’s church and school. Town officials would prefer the Police Station location for a new tower. Hearing dates for these 2 tower applications have not been set. )
