$350K to be repurposed for DPW loader

NORTH ATTLEBORO - Town Manager Michael Borg asked the town council Monday night for $350,000 in funds to buy a new front-end loader for the Department of Public Works.

The purchase would not require bonding or the use of free cash.

Money remaining after the competition of 16 capital improvements would be repurposed, instead.
