[Eastontowncrier] Reminder – October 23 - Public Safety and Public Works Facilities Replacement Project Town Meeting & November 4 Debt Exclusion Election

[Easton Town Crier]

Voters of Easton authorized the Municipal Building Committee to conduct a feasibility analysis 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.
There are two votes necessary if the project is to advance to construction: Special Town Meeting on October 23, and a Debt Exclusion Election on November 4. Information about participating and about the project is summarized below. Full, detailed information about the Public Safety and Public Works facilities replacement project is at WWW.EASTONPSW.COM<http://www.eastonpsw.com/> and all election information at WWW.EASTON.MA.US/VOTE.<http://www.easton.ma.us/vote>
