Town Maintenance Facility

Top 10 Community Benefits of a New Town Maintenance Facility in Jericho:

1. Our current Town Garage presents a number of staff safety concerns and compliance issues
2. Protect our Capital Budget investments by having facility that can house all of our trucks and heavy equipment
3. Retention of Quality Highway Staff is critical to outstanding service
4. Breakroom and public spaces will meet state and federal accessibility requirements.
5. Environmental compliance and efficiency will be assured with state-of-the art fluid catchment and separation system.
6. Long term cost savings to tax payers will be maximized by building now and considering 20 year v. 30 year bond payment schedule.
7. We own the land where facility will be built--and Jericho is growing.
8. Our consultant (who has recently overseen the design and construction of similar sized facilities in Georgia and St. Albans Town) explained to the Jericho Select Board that our current facility is not only inadequate but is a liability-- and completely out of step with current practice in other similarly sized communities.
9. The retired garage can be repurposed for cold storage of equipment and supplies--and potentially be renovated to meet other community needs.

10. New facility will have an additional conference room & public meeting space....
