Town meeting approved a $25,000 transfer from free cash to fund a design study of renovations and updates necessary to reuse the Lakeville Fire Station and Town Hall at 346 Bedford Street.
Paul Hunt, select board member and the article’s speaker, said a reuse committee recommended the study now that the new fire department project has moved forward. Hunt read estimated consultant fees: an architect at $6,500, structural engineer $3,500, hazmat/abatement $2,500, mechanical engineer evaluation $4,000 and project manager fees of $8,200 — a subtotal of $24,000 that the article would cover. The finance committee recommended approval and the article passed by majority vote.
The study will include an internal space‑needs assessment coordinated by the town administrator’s office and may post externally for additional community needs input; staff said the appropriated funds are intended to cover consultant work and related project management.
