Board opts for engineering review before pursuing $4.5–$5.5M highway garage replacement
Summary
After reviewing renovation estimates and grant possibilities, the Hague Town Board agreed to have an engineering firm review renovation priorities for the highway garage instead of immediately pursuing a full $4.5–$5.5 million replacement.
Board members discussed options for the town highway garage, weighing a full replacement against phased renovations. Chair said the original thought had been to build a new highway garage, "somewhere between at this time, $4.5.4.5 to $5,500,000 to build that same building," and described a plan to seek an engineering review of a prioritized renovation list to avoid a premature multi‑million dollar investment.
Chad, the highway superintendent (referred to in discussion), said bringing an engineer in would allow the town to check priorities and ensure necessary upgrades—bathrooms, structural firewall and workspace improvements—are sequenced correctly. The board directed staff to have Cedarwood or a similar engineering firm review the renovation estimate and advise on scope and sequencing before moving to larger capital work.
