Drilling complete and grouting underway at Proctor fire station; trucks expected in early December
Summary
Meeting minutes say drilling at the new Proctor fire station is complete, grouting began Nov. 20 and crews encountered large voids; the Town Manager expects trucks may be able to enter the building in the first week of December.
The Town of Proctor Selectboard minutes record an update on the new fire station: drilling is complete and grouting began on Nov. 20, 2024. The minutes note that crews encountered some large voids that are "quite wide," and that the Town Manager will meet with the construction crew on Nov. 28 for a progress update. The manager expressed hope that fire trucks will be able to be in the building during the first week of December.
Why it matters: The ability to house fire apparatus affects response capacity and station readiness. The minutes indicate active construction progress but also note site challenges (large voids) that the manager and crew are addressing.
What the minutes do not say: The record does not provide detailed engineering findings, contractor names beyond a generic crew reference, a revised completion date if the voids require remediation, or whether the Selectboard authorized additional contingency funds.
Next steps listed in the minutes: The Town Manager will meet with the construction crew on Nov. 28 for an update; the Selectboard will continue to track progress through its regular meetings.
