Fitchburg Housing Authority authorizes up to $40,000 to replace Wallace Tower first‑floor flooring
Summary
The Fitchburg Housing Authority voted unanimously April 29 to authorize up to $40,000 to replace the first‑floor flooring at Wallace Tower, citing durability needs ahead of a planned mid‑June grand opening.
The Fitchburg Housing Authority on April 29 voted unanimously to prospectively authorize spending up to $40,000 to replace the first‑floor flooring at Wallace Tower. Commissioner Thomas Hughes moved the measure and Commissioner Janice M. Spellane seconded; the roll‑call vote recorded all members as 'Yea.'
Executive Director Douglas M. Bushman told the board that Wallace Tower is progressing toward a mid‑June grand opening and that staff recommended a more durable flooring material for high‑traffic areas. The motion was described as a prospective authorization of FHA funds to allow timely procurement and installation as the project completes.
The board discussed cost and durability considerations; the motion does not restate a specific vendor or material choice. The action preserves $40,000 of FHA authority for the work and was approved with the stated intent to proceed once final scope and bids are available.
