Franklin (MA) Matters

This session shares the audio of the Police Station Building Committee (PSBC) meeting on Tuesday, Feb 25, 2025. This is the first meeting of 2025. The full project team, OPM, and architects provided an overview of the process and what next steps were starting. Quick recap:Discussion on how many 3 or 4 open houses for public to visit the station to see the existing conditions and need for new spaceDiscussion on how many site visits to other new police facilities, likely 3 so at least the committee members could try and make at least 2 of the 3Presentation on template of project webpage, still in draft, discussion around what to add to it Discussion around the video walk through to be coordinated by Steve Sherlock/Franklin TV. Would enable residents who can’t make the open houses to still see the situation. Discussion on 3 sites, one just rose along Grove St but won’t be considered further as it is too small. Davis Thayer and Parmenter remain currently under evaluationTown administrator Jamie Hel
