Committee approves $150,000 schematic design for 44 Elm Street
Summary
The Capital Budget Committee approved a $150,000 appropriation to fund a schematic design for renovating 44 Elm Street to meet Cohasset Fire Department needs; the committee noted the design funds would be returned if the 135 King Street project proceeds and the shared building remains in use.
The Capital Budget Committee voted 5-0 to approve $150,000 to complete a schematic design for 44 Elm Street that would allow the town to estimate renovation costs to meet the Fire Department’s needs. Committee members said the schematic design would produce a project estimate to share with the community.
Members noted a conditional caveat: if the town’s proposed public safety facility at 135 King Street is approved at Annual Town Meeting, the funds for the 44 Elm Street schematic design would be returned because the building is still being used as a shared facility. The committee approved the $150,000 appropriation on a motion by Susan Franklin, seconded by Cathy Forest, with a unanimous roll call vote.
The committee did not direct additional design parameters at the meeting nor specify a timetable for completing the schematic design; those details were not provided in the presentation.
