Subdivided from the Mount Holly Elementary School

A NEW TOWN GARAGE??

_{The Mount Holly Select Board says that a new town garage needs to be built and that it must be located on land to be subdivided from the Mount Holly Elementary School’s site.}

There are many questions that have not been answered:

·       Why is a new garage needed?

·       What will happen to the existing garage – can’t it be repaired?

·       Is it true that the cost of the new building, other structures, site preparation, and access could cost nearly $750,000?

·       How will the cost be paid?

·       How long are the new building and other site uses expected to last?

·       Is this the best and most cost effective site for such a capital investment?

·       How will the new garage uses impact the school activities and traffic flow?

·       What will it cost to heat and maintain?

·       What is the site plan for the proposed new garage, its water supply/septic systems, and other proposed site uses?

·       What other sites have been considered that might serve the proposed uses as well or better than the site near the school?

·       Could the now empty garage at the Gates Road Transfer Station be used as a temporary Town Garage or to support the Highway Department?

·       What else might be located at or in a new garage and on its site?

·       Have security and safety issues been evaluated?

We ask that before the Mount Holly Planning Commission approves a subdivision of the Mount Holly Elementary School site that these and many other questions are answered by the Select Board.
