What’s Next?

In November 2024, the Town voters approved a $8.5 million bond for the construction of a new Municipal Complex that would house the Town Office, Police Station, and Fire Station.  An additional $4 million is needed to proceed with construction of the project as proposed.

So, what is next?  The need for improved facilities has not gone away.  Understanding that grant funding is getting increasingly difficult to secure, and understanding concerns about escalating costs for taxpayer, the Select Board and Building Committee both unanimously approved moving forward with a phased approach to the project. Phase 1 will utilize the approved $8.5 million bond to construct the Police Dept, Town Office and Fire Dept Office space. Phase 2 will be to construct the Fire Department apparatus bays, using outside funding, which will hopefully be secured from our Senators this summer.

Given this green light to proceed with the phased approach, the Town has worked with Port City Architecture to hire a Construction Manager at Risk for the project. Through an extensive selection process, the Select Board voted unanimously to proceed with Allied Cook at the Construction Manager.
