Cost savings sought for town garage
SOUTHWEST HARBOR With the help of an Infrastructure Committee, selectmen have decided to revisit the plan for a new town garage to see if they can find cost savings before putting it back out to bid.
“My biggest concern is we pare some stuff out of here, send it back out to bid and the bid comes back higher than the first time,” said Town Manager Justin VanDongen during the discussion at their Nov. 24 virtual meeting via Zoom. “The price of materials has gone up and I’m hoping that maybe there’s somebody that still needs work out there…I’m worried.”
