Select Board approves $9.8M Public Safety Building funding for voter consideration.
Select Board (Formerly Board of Selectmen) · Meeting of April 11, 2026
Ipswich boards confirm $9.8M Public Safety Building funding for voter approval. The reduced request reflects updated construction estimates lower than the original $13 million-plus proposal, with plans for builder selection and fall construction targeting winter 2028 completion. The Elementary School project advances to MSBA feasibility phase on April 29, with estimated tax impacts between 2030 and eight to ten years depending on timeline; the anticipated MSBA reimbursement is approximately 38 percent of total costs.
The FY27 budget totals $41.43 million for schools with an additional $50,000 town contribution, and the Finance Committee reduced the wastewater rehabilitation request from $3 million to $1.5 million.
