Sandwich DPW + Fire Substation

The Town of Sandwich has commenced schematic design for a Public Works Facility and Fire Substation, with plans to create a shared-use site out of the current Department of Public Works site, located at 500 Route 130.

Sandwich approved funding for the study at our November 2023 Special Town Meeting.  The Town is working with Pomroy Associates as its Project Manager, and with an advisory committee.  The committee includes Select Board Chair- Charles Holden, Select Board Member - Patrick Ellis, Finance Committee Member - Matthew Anderson, Director of Public Works - Paul Tilton, Fire Chief, - John Burke, Town Manager - George Dunham, and Assistant Town Manager - Heather Harper.

The committee recently selected Weston & Sampson as the project’s designer and engineer. The approved phase of this project will review program needs for both the Fire Department and the Department of Public Works, and will include a detailed site assessment, a fire response time analysis, and design alternatives.  

Public outreach and community engagement opportunities will be planned later this year.  As the project progresses, Pomroy Associates will be updating this page dedicated to informing the Sandwich community of ongoing details.
