Taunton invited into MSBA Accelerated Repair Program; 2 Hamilton Street to get new windows and doors
Summary
Superintendent Cabral told the school committee the Massachusetts School Building Authority invited Taunton into its Accelerated Repair Program, which will fund exterior window and door replacements at 2 Hamilton Street with expected reimbursement close to 80%.
At the Nov. 5 meeting, Superintendent Cabral announced that the Massachusetts School Building Authority voted Oct. 29 to invite the City of Taunton into the MSBA’s Accelerated Repair Program (ARP), advancing a facilities project that the district expects will receive significant state reimbursement.
Cabral said Taunton was one of 48 communities accepted into the ARP pipeline and that the district’s submission of a Statement of Interest (SOI) and committee authorizations helped secure the invitation. He told the committee that 2 Hamilton Street will receive new exterior windows and exterior doors and said the city expects to be reimbursed “close to 80%.”
Cabral publicly thanked assistant superintendent Brenda Moynihan, Mark Freitas and superintendent of buildings Chris Carmichael for their roles preparing the SOI and coordinating with city partners. The superintendent described the invitation as “a major opportunity to complete an important facilities project with significant state reimbursement.”
The committee voted to accept the MSBA Accelerated Repair Program report. The transcript did not specify a project timetable or final scope beyond exterior windows and doors for 2 Hamilton Street; further design and reimbursement details will follow MSBA processes and subsequent approvals.
