In November 2023, Town Meeting rejected the proposal of a Municipal Complex that would address all infrastructure needs of the Town and pave the way for upcoming needs for the Fire Department and School Department. As a result of the negative vote, the Capital Building Committee developed other proposals informed by the feedback and comments made against the Municipal Complex.  The recommended proposal, the design of which was funded at the May 20, 2024 Special Town Meeting, examines renovating the existing Annex Building, also known as the Bark Street School, and expanding it to still provide a facility combining the current departments at 81 Main Street, the Annex, and the Veterans Department. It also provides a solution to the Annex building’s repair needs, the rented trailers, and efficiency and efficacy of government services in Swansea.

The Advisory and Finance Committee voted 15-0 in favor of this proposal. They also voted unanimously to use meals tax revenues and other revenue sources outside of the tax levy to repay the loan.

This means that the project would have NO TAX IMPACT despite having to borrow a small sum for the project.
