Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The South Shore Regional Vocational School District (website:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=q4YNvYWMSg2t3nY+AuaNggvPd4ODZ8oBqv7pLWvbRTpoqLt7nDPoRqoN783ZLADJ
) has secured a $111m grant from the Massachusetts School Building
Authority to construct a new vocational high school designed for 900
students for its 9 member communities. Hanover was one of the original 6
towns that founded the school, which opened its doors in 1962. The current
(and proposed) school is located at 476 Webster Street. The new school
would add more seats to address waiting list demands and also house 2 new
programs: Plumbing and Veterinary Science, along with the 12 vocational
majors it currently offers.

After the state grant, there is a $162m local share that would be split
amongst the towns based on enrollment trends. It is projected that
Hanover’s share of the project would be around 11%. The full borrowing
of the project would not roll on until FY29. There is more detailed town
specific tax impact information on the project website, here:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=7yafuj3t+ASgxI+kYAPUCgvPd4ODZ/oBqv7pLWvbRTpoqLt7nDN4RqoN783ZLADJ
.

The next step in the process is a Special District Election in the 9 member
towns on Saturday January 25, 2025. This special district election will be
held in the Hanover High School Media Room from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

If residents have any questions about the project, please feel free to
contact Superintendent Tom Hickey at thickey@ssvotech.org or 781-766-4002.
For questions involving the special district election, please contact Town
Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier at catherine.harderbernier@hanover-ma.gov or
781-826-5000, x1079, and/or see the previous “Around Town on the Web” post

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Special Town Meeting ended Monday night just before 9:00 p.m., but not
before approving all four Warrant Articles as recommended by the Advisory
Committee.

As expected, there was quite a spirited debate about the merits of funding
our beloved Transfer Station via an enterprise fund. A substitute motion
was initially offered to the meeting that would have directed future
sticker fees to the General Fund. In the end, the Town voted to create the
Enterprise Fund, thereby freeing up about $1.6 million dollars in next
year’s budget, which will help us to fund the anticipated deficits this
spring. The Select Board will soon be reviewing how to fund the Transfer
Station in the future – either via sticker fees, pay-as-you-throw bag
costs, or a combination of the two.

We also approved a revised regional agreement for the South Shore
Vocational Technical School District, allocated $60K of CPA funds for the
re-design of B. Everett Hall Playground and fields, and authorized
borrowing money to purchase a new fire truck.

Onward!
