Select Board hears early estimates for Elm Street School renovation as building reverts to town
Summary
Board members received an early construction estimate (~$1.1 million) for work needed at the Elm Street School once Montessori vacates; members said long-term budget planning will be needed and discussed sale, tenancy, or renovation options.
Select Board members discussed plans for the Elm Street School building, which will revert to town ownership after the Montessori School moves to a new location. The board heard an early estimate for required renovations of roughly $1.1 million to address foundation, interior and finishing work if the town chose to renovate for a new use or tenant.
Members said the timing depends on when Montessori vacates (potentially August next year or later) and urged this project be part of the longer-term budget planning the board is assembling. Options discussed included marketing the building for sale or lease, identifying potential tenants, or committing to phased capital work tied to a fiscal plan.
