Swampscott Capital Requests Top $2.5 Million

Six Swampscott departments have come forward with fiscal year 2016 capital requests totaling more than $2.5 million.

According to ItemLive.com, the requests come from the public works, police, fire, planning, library and school departments, but do not include a $1.6-million request for an artificial turf field. That request will be handled as a standalone warrant article at this year’s Annual Town Meeting.

The requests include familiar items such as seawall repair, but also include improvements at a couple of Swampscott’s schools.

For more on the requests, as well as how Town Administrator Thomas Younger ranked the requests before presenting them to the Capital Improvement Committee, check out the full article.
