HINGHAM — Advisory Committee unanimously approved school roof project articles after reviewing costs that more than doubled prior projections. Chair Kevin Freytag led a 14-0 vote on warrant articles for Plymouth River Elementary and South Elementary roof repairs. Plymouth River costs rose to $16.3 million from $6.1 million in 2025, with town share at $12.0 million versus $4.0 million prior; South costs rose to $8.6 million from $5.4 million, with town share at $5.6 million versus $2.4 million.
The combined $17.7 million project debt at 4.5 percent interest was estimated to produce a 10-year average annual tax impact of $96 and $46 respectively for a $1.4 million home, with Plymouth River completing in Summer 2028 and South in 2027.
