NORTH READING — The Capital Improvement Planning Committee reviewed FY27 capital project rankings on February 13, discussing delays and funding challenges across multiple initiatives. Members identified significant cost questions for the Town Hall gym air conditioning project, with a minimum $80,000 power upgrade estimate plus additional RMLD and other expenses, making spring completion highly unlikely, Finance Director Laurianne Galvin confirmed. The committee raised concerns about public safety vehicle costs and assignments and noted unresolved land ownership questions for a proposed police carport.
The next meeting is set for March 5 at 8:00 AM, with Fire Chief Stats and Todd Woekel invited to discuss fire station facility needs.
