During a special joint meeting Monday night, the Board of Selectmen authorized the purchase of the 2-acre property for $325,000, and the Board of Finance voted to authorize the appropriation from the town’s capital and non-recurring projects fund balance. Officials have said the $325,000 property purchase price will not be an added cost as the Permanent Building Committee has agreed to reduce the budget by $475,772 and move an additional $547,228 into contingency. Costs, however, are not the only concerns residents have about the $84.2 million building project. Since the new plan requires using land at 78 Gillotti Road, the committee recommended the purchase of the property to the selectmen and finance boards.
