Paxton has been considering joining with the towns of Holden, West Boylston, and Princeton with an agreement to regionalize dispatching services. Holden has hosted dispatching services for Princeton and West Boylston for the past four years. A feasibility study conducted by Tom Kennedy of CTC; Inc. was presented to the Board of Selectmen. Mr. Kennedy reported that the State of Massachusetts has been encouraging a regionalized approach to dispatching services and that the Wachusett Regional Emergency Communication Center would be a great fit because of geographical similarities of the communities and the savings that would result. Much of the cost of the move would be funded by grants through the state and would result in a significant and necessary equipment upgrade. Both Police Chief Savasta and Fire Chief Conte recommended the move. The Board of Selectmen voted to accept the recommendations and move our dispatching services to Holden. The move of dispatching services is expected to be completed by July of 2020.
