In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the upcoming assessment by Primax, scheduled for Tuesday, the 30th. Primax will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the town's facilities, identifying deficiencies and providing recommendations. While officials acknowledged the potential liability risks associated with the findings, they expressed confidence that the assessment would highlight known issues and possibly uncover less obvious concerns.
The meeting also touched on community engagement, with officials noting a decline in public attendance at recent meetings. Only three residents participated in the latest session, prompting discussions on how to improve outreach and accessibility of information. Plans were proposed to distribute fact sheets or postcards at an upcoming community event to encourage greater public involvement.
As preparations for the town meeting continue, officials are optimistic about presenting a well-informed proposal to voters. They anticipate receiving valuable insights from Primax in the coming weeks, which will aid in addressing public concerns, particularly regarding project costs. The discussion included considerations about the building's utilities and the potential for phased construction, ensuring that future expansions could be accommodated if necessary.
Overall, the meeting highlighted the town's proactive approach to facility management and community engagement, as officials prepare for critical decisions ahead.
