A committee with representatives from town departments, Sudbury Public Schools, and Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School shaped the project.

The town said the planning process began with each department reviewing its current and future needs, and those were compiled in a master spreadsheet. After that, monthly meetings were held to discuss scope, timing, costs, and funding sources.

Tax levy and stabilization funds, capital or debt exclusions, the Community Preservation Act, and other sources could fund it, according to the town.

Now, Sudbury's finance department is looking to finalize the funding strategy, present the FY27 Capital Request, and engage with the Select Board, Finance Committee, and CIAC for their input.
