The Town is considering generators for public facilities.

The Town has received quotes of approximately $16k - $57k for the Town Hall and $49k - $80k for the Highway Building. Quotes for the Transfer Station have not yet been received.

Generators could help keep power on during outages, provide a possible place for residents to go during an emergency, and allow certain town operations to continue.

Based on what you know now, how supportive are you of purchasing generators for town facilities?

Strongly support

Neutral / need more information

Which statement comes closest to your view?

The Town should move forward with generators for all three locations if financially possible.

The Town should prioritize only the most essential location first.

The Town should wait until all quotes are received and then compare options.

The Town should only move forward if grant funding or outside funding is available.

The Town should not spend town funds on this project right now.

I need more information before deciding.
