Permanent Building Committee · Meeting of August 27, 2026
Wellesley Building Committee approves $148K DPW payment and defers school AC timeline. The committee voted 5-0 to authorize the eighth payment for the DPW RDF Administration Building, allocating $148,418.50 to Construction Dynamics Inc., while expressing concerns about December completion feasibility given monthly burn of $132,000 and remaining budget of $2.3 million. Parents advocated for accelerated school air conditioning installation at elementary schools, but the committee deferred action pending feasibility review before the November 9 special town meeting.
Hardy-Hunnewell solar projects remain on track for substantial completion by month-end, and Town Hall HVAC upgrades have completed installation.
