THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Selectboard reviewed revised designs and cost estimates for a new 6-bay highway garage, currently estimated at about $3.96 million including contingencies and winter conditions. Stevens & Associates and DEW are refining the design to reduce costs, and the town still plans a bond vote in November for project funding. This is an active planning phase for a major facility where design, construction, financing, and site options are still being discussed, giving vendors a chance to shape scope and costs before formal procurement.
DEW presented simplified 6-bay design potentially saving about $50,000; discussion of alternative property for future expansion.
