Rickity Salt Shed Is What Gardner MA has for Now
At the City Council meeting of March 4, 2024, more time was requested regarding the proposed $625,000 expenditure for a new Salt Shed. Gardner Magazine wanted you to see the gravity and urgency of the need, so we took some close up pictures.
Mayor Michael Nicholson proposes to use $625k from the Stabilization Fund for this project. DPW Director Dane Arnold has already noted that DPW will do some of the work which reduced the proposed cost to this amount. A new shed would be located on City-owned land across the street.
DPW has been praised for its frugality. For example, it makes its own mulch from downed trees which has been used at the Golf Course and the Dog Park, saving the City of Gardner money.
The picture below shows that DPW is also frugal with its fleet and equipment. Picture taken March 4, 2024.
