Western Maine Mountain Housing is advancing a 50-unit workforce housing project on 20 donated acres at Bigelow Hill, with an estimated total cost of $12.36 million in two phases. Phase 1 includes a 12-unit building plus full site infrastructure, aiming for initial units by winter 2027-28, contingent on fundraising and grants. WMMH has already spent about $317,000 on predevelopment, lined up multiple public funding sources, and hired Demont Associates to raise roughly $2.5 million for Phase 1 starting late fall 2026. This is still in planning/design and funding assembly, leaving room for housing, infrastructure, and fundraising vendors to engage.
Pre-RFP
$12,363,195Jun 22, 2026Franklin County plans to replace the Regional Communication Center security system using ARPA interest funds. A3 Communications has provided a $49,076 quote for a Verkada-based package covering cameras, access control, intercom, and 10‑year licenses, and the administrator is recommended to be authorized to sign. The vendor is effectively chosen, but there may be follow-on needs for networking, electrical work, and system integration that other providers can support.
Contract Award
$49,076Jul 21, 2026The Select Board approved a 10% increase and accepted Scrib's Excavation for a three‑year plow contract from 2026 to 2029 at $77,000 per year. This locks in the vendor and pricing for general town plowing over the term. Vendors now know Scrib's is the incumbent and can target future support, subcontracting, equipment supply, or position for the next rebid cycle after 2029.
Contract Award
$231,000May 26, 2026The Police Chief presented a proposal to purchase 8 Axon Taser 10 units on a 5‑year plan totaling about $58,398 for the department. Annual payments would be roughly $11,680 and include certifications and a 5‑year replacement guarantee. The board was asked to consider the purchase but no decision has been made yet. This is an early signal that the town is planning to refresh less‑lethal equipment and may still compare options or financing models.
Pre-RFP
$58,398Jun 8, 2026The Jay Selectboard reviewed an Axon quote for 10 Taser 10 units plus on-site instructor and VR training, totaling $71,398 over 5 years. Board members want details on funding source, savings for an upfront purchase, and pricing for fewer than 10 units; the decision was tabled to the next meeting. This is an active need for less-lethal devices and training, and the department may still evaluate scope, financing, and options before committing.
Pre-RFP
$71,398May 26, 2026Franklin County Jail reports its 3-door refrigerator is failing and needs replacement. The county received five quotes and staff recommend purchasing a True refrigeration unit from C. Caprara Food Services Equipment for $8,045, including delivery, installation, removal, and disposal, funded from the Jail Building Reserve Fund. This locks in C. Caprara for this purchase but signals ongoing kitchen equipment aging where future replacements, service, or upgrades may be needed.
Contract Award
$8,045Jul 7, 2026During the May 26, 2026 meeting, Public Works presented two quotes for hot top paving on Church Hill, High Street, Birch Lane, and Shady Lane, including shim and surface work. The Select Board accepted the lower bid of $132,765.60 from Pike Industries over a $137,000 quote from Fine Line Paving, and the board chair signed the lease associated with the project. This confirms Pike Industries as the paving contractor for this package of local road improvements and indicates active investment in roadway maintenance. Vendors in construction, materials, traffic control, or inspection can view this as incumbent intelligence and a signal that Strong is funding road projects at six‑figure levels, which may lead to future bids or related work.
Contract Award
$132,765May 26, 2026Greater Franklin Economic and Community Development requested $141,000 in TIF funds for its "Invest in Your Community" program countywide, with the TIF Committee recommending funding. The project budget is $203,300 and targets business attraction, broadband fiber, computer skills training, childcare, housing, recreational infrastructure, municipal website upgrades, and IT programming. This funding will support contracted services, training, and infrastructure work in multiple communities over the next year.
Grant Funding
$141,000Jul 21, 2026Wilton sold a 2017 International truck and a 2007 GMC truck via Auctions International for a total of $18,010, and returned the proceeds to the Highway Capital Equipment Account. This confirms an active capital fund dedicated to future highway equipment purchases or replacements, but no specific new equipment has been selected yet. Fleet, truck, and heavy equipment vendors should view this as a live funding source and begin conversations about upcoming replacement needs and specs.
Contract Award
$18,010Jun 23, 2026Recreation Director Alison Thayer briefed the Select Board on summer program logistics and raised the need to purchase rather than rent a vehicle to improve reliability and provide towing capacity. Current reliance on rented vans and additional drivers from Western ME Transportation is straining her budget, prompting discussion of alternatives including purchasing a vehicle and exploring partnerships. Board members suggested options such as hiring Greg Roy’s All Points Transportation for 11-passenger vans with towing capability at 80 per hour and investigating a vehicle-sharing partnership with the local school district. The Select Board also discussed adding an extra 5000 to the recreation program budget in the June town meeting warrant to support these needs. This indicates an active search for cost-effective transportation and towing solutions for recreation programs, with scope still open on whether to buy, lease, or contract services.
