Capital Committee develops FY27 priorities from $1.78 million in requests
Capital Improvement Planning Committee · Meeting of February 11, 2026
Belchertown Capital Committee begins preliminary ranking of FY27 projects totaling $1.78 million. The Capital Improvement Planning Committee approved January minutes 3-0 and reviewed departmental capital requests for fiscal 2027 under Vice-Chair Eric Bernardin's direction. Poll Pad upgrades at $14,400 were identified as the top-priority item due to election requirements.
School capital projects dominate requests, with parking reconfiguration at Jabish Brook Middle School at $200,000 leading school priorities, followed by bathroom renovation and HVAC upgrades, though the committee is seeking guidance on the building's long-term strategic plan. The committee will seek grant funding for eligible projects and individual members will rank all requests before presenting a final FY27 priority list on February 18.
