From the meeting
At the September 22, 2026 special town meeting, the town approved supporting the re-construction of the town salt shed with volunteer work and paid hourly labor, with equipment hours and costs to be approved by the select board. The current shed had bowing walls and insurance would not cover it, and the town said winter delivery delays drove the need for more storage. A prior bid came in at $381,000, while the volunteer-led approach was estimated at about $17,000 plus hourly labor.
The project was targeted for October 2026, tied to paving on Gammon Road.
