Town approves $4.6 million to replace aging HVAC at Fisk Elementary

Town meeting approved Article 16D to fund replacement of mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems at Fisk Elementary School. Public Facilities Director Mike Cronin explained the request is prompted by equipment past useful life (about 20 years) and that the scope includes replacing fossil‑fuel rooftop energy recovery units with all‑electric equipment, and upsizing electrical infrastructure where required. The appropriation is $4,565,000, to be funded from a mix of unreserved fund balance, a tax‑levy contribution and prior bond proceeds.
