The pre- engineered storage garage for construction, a 42x60' building to be located at the DPW would house small equipment currently kept outdoors. Equipment to be stored includes chippers, tractors and smaller equipment generally left without protection from the elements.

The balance of the 174,050 project would be paid through funds available in the CIP bond to move the project forward. Town Manager Rodney C. Collins recommended approval. The DPW has articulated the need for additional storage, and this project has been in the CIP for a number of years.
