Charlton approves $325,000 in capital items, including ARPA-funded radio upgrade
Charlton’s annual meeting approved capital expenditures that included $50,000 from free cash for a townwide public safety radio upgrade and $275,000 for repairs to the Power Station Road building.

Town Administrator Mister Golos described the radio project as an infrastructure upgrade to the public safety radio system that uses ARPA funds and is “almost complete,” with funds requested to transition radios from analog to digital. The finance committee and the select board both recommended the measure, and the assembly approved the motion by electronic vote, 103 yes to 9 no.

Voters also authorized the select board or chief procurement officer to enter into contracts or leases necessary to effectuate those capital improvements.
