As you may know, the Town has conducted a feasibility study on the conditions, constraints, and challenges with our current Police, Fire, and Town Hall facilities. In short, the result of that review recommended the creation of a new Municipal Complex consisting of a new Public Safety (Police & Fire) Facility and a separate Town Hall to be located on the former Medway Block property at 120 Main Street. With the assistance of the Town Manager and Finance Director, the Select Board has worked diligently to develop an estimated funding scenario for the proposed complex that strives to avoid the necessity of a possible Proposition 2 ½ override or debt exclusion. This worksheet shows their collective efforts, which does NOT include an override. However, When analyzing the worksheet, please note the estimates include potential revenue from battery energy storage projects being proposed here in Medway. If those funds do not occur, this funding scenario will require reconsideration.

Additionally, please be on the lookout for a video series highlighting the feasibility study results and the immediate challenges with our current facilities. These videos will be released at the beginning of October. You're also encouraged to listen to the detailed discussion of this estimate during the Select Board meeting held on Monday, September 3rd. The relevant discussion begins at 1:56:19 and ends at 2:27. Link to Select Board meeting.
