The Capital Improvement Planning Committee this week presented their revised five-year plan to the Board of Selectmen. The CIPC recommended the following:

  1. The CIPC recommended $138,000 in capital project spending in FY22. This total is less than previous recommendations for FY22 due to the fiscal constraints of COVID-19.
  1. The CIPC was asked to consider what to do with budget monies available in 2024 due to the final debt payment for the 2013 Road Project. The CIPC recommended to the Board that the town use this expiring debt capacity to borrow for future large-scale capital projects like a fire truck or ambulance. This takes future pressure off the capital budget.
  1. The CIPC was asked to consider the current state of Hubbardston’s municipal buildings. The CIPC recommended to the Board that they prioritize asking Hubbardston residents to support the construction of a public safety building. The CIPC further recommended that the Board use existing town land and sell unneeded building space to defray costs.
