Mashpee funding for sewer, police station plans: Here are Saturday's town election results

Mashpee voters overwhelmingly passed two Proposition 2½ overrides during Saturday's town election to pay for the second part of the town's sewage plans and to design and engineer a new police station.

The first ballot question, which authorized the town to borrow $96.1 million to pay for the second phase of the town’s nitrogen and wastewater management, treatment and disposal improvement plans , was approved by 1,976 voters with 476 in opposition, according to unofficial results.

And the second ballot question approved $2.7 million for designs and engineering for a new police station and $80,000 to restore a masonry wall at the Department of Public Works. The unofficial vote on this question was 1,600 to 818.

Voters at the annual town meeting last week supported the spending.
