Public‑safety building committee begins detailed review; no site decision yet
Summary
The Select Board heard an update that the public‑safety building committee is meeting regularly, has chosen Nick Russo as chair, plans site visits and intends careful vetting; board members were told there is no chosen location and decisions may take many months.
The board received an update on the public‑safety building committee. The committee has met several times, selected Nick Russo as chair, and is conducting a methodical review of potential sites and existing conditions. Committee members emphasized they may re‑examine earlier assumptions and even start from scratch if necessary before presenting options to the community.
Nick Russo, identified by the board as committee chair, told members there is presently no selected location. "There isn't a location, there is no decisions," he said, and the committee intends to educate itself thoroughly before public forums and community engagement. The manager added that the process will include site visits and consultant briefings and that the committee is committed to transparency while taking time to build confidence in the underlying information.
Board members described the committee as experienced and said they supported a cautious, thorough approach, while acknowledging some urgency and the community interest in timely progress. Separately, the manager informed the board of a likely two‑day closure of George Washington Boulevard (anticipated April 13–14) for work to move electrical wires underground and asked staff to post details to the public.
