The Department also oversees the operation of the Transfer Station and Recycling Center. The Town road network consists of approximately 38 miles of roads, 19 miles of gravel road and 19 miles of paved streets. The Department has four full-time employees who work out of the Public Works Garage off Beede Road. Equipment within the Department consists of 2 large six-wheeler dump trucks, a one ton truck, three quarter ton pickup, backhoe, and grader. Annually the Town appropriates $150,000. for the road capital improvement program, and generally the Department coordinates one large road reconstruction and/or paving project in cooperation with a private
contractor. One of the primary objectives of the Department is the winter maintenance of roads, which includes plowing and sand/salt operations.
