<br /> This article proposes an appropriation for the design and construction of a new Westview Cemetery
<br /> Building on the Westview Cemetery grounds including the payment of costs of demolition, architectural,
<br /> and engineering services, original equipment, furnishings, landscaping, paving and other site and traffic
<br /> improvements incidental or related to such construction.
<br /> Westview Cemetery is the Town's active cemetery with an average of 200 burials per year. The current
<br /> building, which serves as the cemetery office, meeting area for grieving families, and workspace for the
<br /> maintenance staff,has deteriorated,needs to be reconfigured, and needs to be brought up to code. There is
<br /> no private space for grieving families that come to make arrangements. Maintenance work may be per-
<br /> formed in the adjacent garage area, and other people or cemetery staff may enter the office area while the
<br /> grieving family is present. The maintenance area is small and some equipment must be stored outdoors,
<br /> negatively affecting its durability and life.
<br /> At the 2015 Annual Town Meeting, $35,000 was appropriated to hire an architect to assess the current
<br /> building, determine if the existing building can be renovated and expanded, and determine if a new build-
<br /> ing is needed. The assessment was made by TBA Architects Inc. At the 2017 Annual Town Meeting,
<br /> $270,000 was appropriated to develop designs for the renovation of the existing building or construct a
<br /> new building. The Board of Selectmen has reviewed the assessment and recommended that a new build-
<br /> ing be constructed. Funds are expected to be borrowed for a period of 20 years and the debt service pay-
