Town of Hunter prioritizes highway garage repairs, discusses multi‑year plan and possible joint fire station
Summary
Supervisor Mahoney said the highway garage is the board’s highest capital priority and outlined options including replacing the Quonset hut roof with a peaked roof, adding bays, retrofitting the ambulance building to house police, and carving a footprint for a joint fire station. Councilman Legg cautioned the building may need full replacement because of many past additions.
The board discussed several options for addressing long‑running needs at the highway garage and described a multi‑year approach to capital work. Supervisor Sean Mahoney said the highway garage is the town’s highest priority and outlined a plan that could include shearing off the Quonset hut roof, framing a new peaked roof, adding additional bays (which would require relocation of existing office space), retrofitting the ambulance building so the police department could move there, and reserving a footprint on town property for a potential joint fire station.
Councilman Raymond Legg observed the existing structure incorporates roughly sixty years of additions and said replacing the building entirely may be necessary. The board characterized the approach as cost‑conscious in early planning; no final design or funding appropriation was approved at the meeting.
