Demolition, site work and addition to a pre-engineered storage facility in Cheshire, Connecticut. Conceptual plans call for the addition of a pre-engineered storage facility; for the demolition of a pre-engineered storage facility; and for site work for a pre-engineered storage facility.

The existing 48'x72' salt shed at the Public Works Garage was constructed in 1987. It holds approximately 300 tons of product, which is only sufficient for three routine winter storms. The wood superstructure is degrading from constant exposure to salt and moisture and will require repairs. The requested funding will allow for the installation of a modern, pre-engineered salt shed that will provide a large increase in capacity. The building would also allow for stockpiling product in the spring and summer when market prices are more favorable. This estimate was developed in consultation with designers and other municipalities. The useful life of a new salt shed is 30+ years As of September 18, 2024, this project is included in the City's 2023-2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Further information regarding a design firm and timeline for construction have not been established. Funding is allotted for FY 2025. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
