The proposed purchase would address a shortage of police parking, with 12 spaces currently serving 77 employees. The request includes about $520,000 for the property and $100,000 for demolition, including asbestos removal; $505,000 is already available in a real estate fund. The committee also noted that the governor’s proposed state aid increase is less than 1%, compared with 10% last year, and that about $9 million remains in older, unspent Town Meeting appropriations that should be reviewed.
