Summary
The town's DPW equipment — roughly $12 million worth — sits largely outdoors, shortening its life and slowing winter storm response. The committee is weighing heated versus unheated storage, garage renovation versus new construction, and added mechanic bays, with a cost-effectiveness study to come back at a future meeting.

Impact analysis
A comparable rebuild in Guilford cost $12 million; expanding the existing steel structure could trigger code upgrades costing nearly as much as new construction.
Taxpayers benefit if expensive DPW equipment lasts longer and snow response gets faster; eventual decisions will shape future capital spending.
