PCBs throw a wrench in gym roof repair plans

WESTMINSTER-Work to replace the roof over the gym at this summer at Bellows Falls Union High School, among some $9 million in projects underway, has suddenly stalled.

The project "is on hold because the PCB-laden roof decking itself has to come off," WNESU board member David Clark wrote to The Commons.

Clark said the project would cost an estimated additional $500,000 to $1 million, "with no current funding stream."

BFUHS Board Chair Rob Weltz said the board is working on the additional funding for the gym roof decking so it can be addressed next summer to supplement funds for the previously planned work to replace the roof section.

The work to replace the rest of the roof and to deploy a new HVAC system is "currently in the finishing stages," Weltz said.
