Select Board defers $53 million DPW-fire project
Select Board · Meeting of April 2, 2026
Sandwich Select Board defers vote on $53 million DPW and Fire Substation project. The Board considered design modifications from consulting firms Weston & Sampson and KBA Architects that would reduce the original $58.2 million estimate by $5.5 million. Town Manager Bud Dunham said the project would cost taxpayers $339 annually, decreasing to zero over 31 years.
Board members Shane Hoctor and Robert J. George raised affordability concerns ahead of the town meeting, and the Board unanimously deferred voting to April 9.
