Town Meeting Article Looks to Stop Public Safety/DPW Complex Debt Exclusion

A local resident has submitted a proposed article for the Annual Town Meeting that aims to strip the funding for a proposed $34.9 million complex for the police, fire, and public works departments.

Ron Webster’s article to strip the funding has been submitted for consideration. Town Clerk Marianne Staples told the Sun Chronicle that the signatures submitted with the article have been certified.

Webster argues that the cost of the building is too high and believes that the project can be done for less.

Town Manager Bill Ross said he will see if the vote can be reversed.

Construction on the building is scheduled to start this summer.
