BOURNE – Residents in Bourne head to Town Meeting tonight to decide on funding articles for a new wastewater treatment plant and two new positions in town.
Voters are being asked to approve $6.5 million for a proposed wastewater facility which would treat 100,000 more gallons of water per day to help spur town development.
The facility is planned for Queen Sewell Park.
The estimated cost does not include possible grants the town has applied for totaling over $3.5 million.
Other articles include funding a new assistant Fire Chief and an assistant town manager.
The cost for the two positions for the rest of the fiscal year total $100,000.
The 10-article warrant also includes multiple requests for Community Preservation Act funds.
Town Meeting is at 7:30 p.m. at Bourne High School.
