Massachusetts Inspector General opines on Winchendon Court House Purchase

    

        An article in Worcester Telegram which is about the purchase of an old court house building to be turned into a "new" police station certainly has a familiar ring to it here in Templeton. Paying too much for an old building, discussions and purchasing details out of public view, pre-determined outcomes, mold issues hidden or left off of discussion and other things written about in the article sound very much like a scenario played out  here with regards to an old manufacturing building that was put forth as a "new" town hall with paying too much and understating or under estimating the true costs of renovation. The one thing that comes through is these happenings are not unique to Templeton after all!
