Wayland officials hoping to move ahead on DPW facility

Wayland Town Crier 1/26/12: Wayland officials hoping to move ahead on DPW facility. A new Department of Public Works (DPW) facility, an item on the town’s capital plan for many years, may be on the road to reality if voters approve various articles at annual Town Meeting in April. The aging facility at 195 Main St. was a topic of discussion Monday night at the Finance Committee hearing on articles submitted for the Annual Town Meeting Warrant. The DPW garage was built in the late 1920s or early 1930s, when the site was also used as a burning landfill. “Its lifespan is expired,” said Chris Brown, chairman of the Board of Public Works. Voters approved funding $175,000 at Town Meeting in 2011 to do site evaluation and schematic design for a new DPW garage.
