Weston fire station group culls central sites after Case Campus sewer finding

WESTON — March 18, 2024 — Weston fire station group culls central sites after Case Campus sewer finding. The Fire Station Working Group on March 18 cut several leading central-station candidates after member Jim warned that any new municipal building on the contiguous Case Campus would force an active wastewater-treatment plant the town estimates at "probably a 20 million dollar project." The ruling, traced to a Mass DEP Title 5 determination treating the schools, library, cemetery and adjacent parcels as one property, knocked out the cemetery next to the police station, the Country School ball fields and a Wellesley Street parcel. Chair Tom Palmer reported Vertex was selected first among five OPM proposers, with CHA third, and that Vertex Vice President Jeff DiMicco — who managed Weston's Field School project — would be principal-in-charge. Tecton's Rebecca said initial GIS response-time heat maps would land for the April 1 meeting. Members agreed to revisit the 1.83-acre Lambson Park parcel adjacent to Town Hall, moving it from red to yellow.
