From the meeting
At the October 19, 2026 meeting, the board said Roy Ward had hired a cost estimator for the town garage project after the schematics were approved. Tim said the town still needs an approved-list attorney, a current audit, and a voter bond approval, likely at Town Meeting in March 2027, before the Bond Bank application can move forward. The earliest award timing mentioned was July.
This is a major pre-financing lead with a clear path to future procurement.
