Wait till someone dies and the town pays the family twice the amount of a new garage in a lawsuit then they'll see how expensive a building is.

Are you implying that a 7.6 million dollar public works building is going to prevent a lawsuit?

dog, is this what you are talking about?

"There are a number of safety risks with the current facility, Warren said, making Meredith “the loss leader in slip-and-fall injuries” because there is no wash bay for the trucks. Instead, employees climb to the top of the vehicles to clean them after sand and salt operations, and the runoff from washing them may contain contaminants that reach nearby Hawkins Brook.

The current facility also lacks truck lifts, so workers making undercarriage repairs to the heavy trucks are working under vehicle jacks."

Surely, they could have built a safe building for less than 7.6 million? I am just shocked by this amount.

Sorry, should have said that is from the L. Sun.

Yes it is...

Just to illustrate just how far off the mark that 7.6 million dollar price tag is....

Guarantee you they are not building anything nearly as nice and keep in mind this project was 39,000 SQFT so more than twice the size. Not only that being this was done in Massachusetts you can bet that price is at a premium too. Congratulations to the town of Meredith for an EPIC fail - but who cares the tax payers will just pay for incompetence as usual.
