The Permanent Building Committee held the first of its meetings last night to explain to the town its current course and current thinking for a new DPW garage, and the Dale Street master plan. The current plans are for a smaller garage (two fewer bays and 1,000 sq. ft. less of office space – now 8,000 sq. ft.) with specific details to come later. The currently PBC plans to ask for a special town meeting in November to ask for approval of monies to build a new highway garage. The meeting last night was covered by Medfield.TV, so look for it there.
A warrant committee member asked me last night to share with the PBC the point counterpoint article I wrote on the proposed garage at Richard DeSorgher’s request for his MHS classes at the time of the ballot question, which focused on the then unanswered questions – I will email it to them next.
