NORTH READING — The Fire Station Building Committee discussed next steps for evaluating two Main Street properties approved by Town Meeting. Ms. Abby Hurlbut assigned committee members to investigate prior testing at one property and to gather information from state and federal environmental agencies.
The committee discussed timing for presenting project funding to voters, noting that October Town Meeting might conflict with design deadlines. Committee members agreed to wait for a complete design package before presenting to Town Meeting, potentially in June or via Special Town Meeting. Chief Don Stats emphasized the importance of educating the public about both the new station project and needed renovations to the current fire station.
