Sheriffs across Massachusetts have requested $241 million to repair and renovate their jails

Jail Funding Massachusetts ASSOCIATED PRESS Bristol County Sheriff Paul Heroux is seeking $27 million in state funding to renovate the Dartmouth House of Correction, so he can close the 148-year-old Ash Street Jail. But Heroux is facing competition from sheriffs across Massachusetts . They’re all seeking a share of limited state funding for major repairs and renovations at their facilities. Among the contenders is a jail even older than Ash Street: the Dukes County jail on Martha’s Vineyard, built in 1873, which needs structural and fire-safety repairs and more space. Essex County seeks to overhaul Middleton jail’s kitchen and dining area, while Worcester County wants to renovate deteriorating jail housing units and demolish a former hospital nurses’ home. Heroux shared his funding proposal with The Light for the first time, providing new details about the work needed to close Ash Street and its estimated cost. Five of the state’s 13 other sheriffs who run jails — Franklin, Berkshire , Dukes, Essex and Worcester — also shared their applications with The Light. Together, the sheriffs have requested about $241 million, far more than the $125 million to $150 million the state expects to allocate through the program. Franklin, Dukes and Essex

Six years after leaving Templeton Town Hall, Carter Terenzini is back, bringing with him extensive experience helping communities navigate leadership transitions and financial challenges . The Select Board has appointed the 76-year-old Moultonborough, New Hampshire, resident as interim town administrator. His contract was signed Oct. 29, and he began work this week. He will serve through June 30, 2027. Select Board Chairman Jeff Bennett said Terenzini’s previous experience in Templeton should allow him to get up to speed quickly. “Mr. Terenzini has an intimate familiarity with many of the Templeton staff, boards and commissions and issues from his prior service to the town,” Bennett said. “The board agreed this could help ensure a relatively smooth transition into the organization for him and the many challenges we now face as a community.” A familiar face in several communities Terenzini initially came to Templeton as interim town administrator in August 2016. What was expected to be a short-term assignment ultimately lasted more than four years as the town dealt with serious financial problems, including several years without completed audits and state oversight. He remained until November 2020, when Assistant Town Administrator Adam Lamontagne succeeded him. Since retiring from full-time municipal government, Terenzini
