Greenwich panel approves $700,000 more for nursing home pipes
Other Committee · Meeting of February 18, 2026
Greenwich budget panel approves $700,000 more for nursing home pipe repairs, pushing the project past $1.4 million. The BET Budget Committee voted unanimously to add the funds after Nathaniel Witherell Executive Director John Masterardi said crews found rotted studs and seized valves once walls were opened, adding $143,000 in unplanned costs. "The interior piping is in bad shape, and leaks continue to spring up as we go along," Masterardi said.
The panel also approved $9,810, drawn entirely from asset forfeiture funds, for a police "information network" platform Captain Patrick Smith said will centralize crime data and add a public dashboard. Given the size of the pipe request, the committee flagged it "non-routine," sending the full Nathaniel Witherell team before the full Board of Estimate and Taxation.
