and design plan to replace all police, fire, and public works facilities in 2021. These facilities were originally constructed between 1945 and 1969 and are too small, too old, and in too poor a state of repair to continue serving Easton's first responders,
their fleets and equipment, or the community. After two years of feasibility work, the Select Board has put the project to the voters to decide if it will be funded or not.</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:black;mso-ligatures:none">
