Town Hall gym floor refinished; board reviews low‑cost matting options
Summary
Contractors sanded the Town Hall gym floor to the base layer and are painting/lining it this week; staff and board discussed matting and partial coverage options to protect the new finish, with one quote for partial matting in the $6,000–$8,000 range.
Town staff told the Select Board on July 21 that contractors have sanded the Town Hall gym floor down to the base layer and are painting and lining the surface; finishing work and a curing period mean the space will be unavailable for several more weeks.
The staff member updating the board said contractors are proceeding with border and center lines tonight and then will return to paint sports lines. The board discussed options to protect high‑traffic areas — including partial matting or recycled carpet material — to avoid annual resurfacing. One speaker noted a contractor quoted a partial matting option in the "6 to 8,000" range, and discussed lower‑cost alternatives for stage and entryways.
Members asked staff to present cost comparisons and renderings at a future meeting and to bring vendor contacts for a final decision. The board emphasized balancing longevity and expense for a gym used infrequently but intensively during events.
