Key Factors to Consider The existing salt storage building lacks capacity and is nearing the end of its useful life due to structural issues. Failure of the structure will threaten our ability to maintain safe travel in Town. Cost estimates are intended to be conservative, and competitive bids may yield much lower costs.
