ROXBURY – After much discussion Monday night, the town’s two selectmen agreed to put out to bid the labor needed to build a new municipal building shell.
Selectmen Alan Hodgkins and Douten “Dan” Thomas said they’ve worked out the materials list and prices with Puiia’s in Mexico for the 30-foot-by-60-foot building.
The dilapidated former Northwest Precision Co. building on Route 17, where the new municipal building is to be built, is expected to be demolished this week, Hodgkins said.
The pair agreed Monday night to hire a contractor to put up a shell and lock it down for the winter, after cement is poured for the foundation. The building would then be finished next year.
In other business, Hodgkins said the town has another six volunteers for its fire department, giving it a full dozen. But, he said, they will need pagers.
Thomas and Hodgkins agreed that the town needs to buy eight fire pagers, the cost of which Hodgkins estimated at $400.
Only one person has filed papers for the third Board of Selectmen seat, Hodgkins said. Nomination papers are due at the town office by 1 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 17.
Selectman Tim Gallant resigned on June 13.
