Street Parkway we will get that equal amount of paving on these repurposed projects. We will come out even
and if this works out, we in a way are better off because had this not occurred the Millyard parcels that we
acquired, NIMCO and the like, we would have had to sell those and give the money to the federal government.
Alderman McCarthy
| assume that this means that we own the police training facility.
Mayor Donchess
This means that there is no obligation to pay the federal government with respect to any of these parcels that
have been ruled ineligible. So the NIMCO parcel: there are other legal problems with respect to that with the
current occupant but the NIMCO parcel, the police training facility and the large parking lot that is adjacent and
city owned, near Bagshaw owned by Steve Bonnet. Those parcels will be owned by the city free and clear and
we can dispose of those as we wish under this scenario which we would have been able to do had this
problem not arisen. Is that clear?
Alderman Siegel
So just to reiterate, we had an overhang and the federal government wanted their money back. We figured out
a difference purpose and it turned out to be paving and so rather than give the federal government back money
we managed to use the federal government money to pay for local municipal paving rather than paying for that
local municipal paving out of strictly local municipal tax payer dollars, is that correct?
Mayor Donchess
Correct.
Alderman Siegel
So, the entire United States of America is helping to pave part of Nashua.
Mayor Donchess
| mentioned this at the beginning but let me reiterate that this has been a team effort over a long period of time
and there have been a lot of city employees involved; public works, finance, legal and of course John Vancor
who led the effort. This has been a successful result as a result of people working very hard to come up with a
creative solution over quite a long period of time so | would like to thank everyone who helped in hopefully
making this a reality.
