At a special town meeting to be held Tuesday, March 29, Machias voters will be asked to weigh in on the cost of restoration and repairs to the gymnasium roof at Rose M. Gaffney Elementary School.

The need to repair and restore the roof has been on the town’s radar for several years, at least. Most of the roof is well over 30 years old, says A.O.S. 96 Superintendent Scott Porter.
