Letter: Drought, Rate Hikes, and Hypocrisy: Is Ipswich Risking Its Own Drinking Water?
What Ipswich’s Major Projects Could Cost Taxpayers

We need a plan for Ipswich’s future: schools, water, infrastructure, waste removal AND a public safety building. Not just a series of separate hands in the taxpayer pockets.

The price tag for a Public Safety Building has grown from the $27.5 million that voters approved to $37.3 million - a 46% increase! The ask planned for the 5/12/26 Town Meeting was reduced from $13.8M to $9.8M only after political pushback, not because the project got cheaper.
Before you approve almost $10 MILLION more for a public safety building, take 10-15 minutes.

Read the proof for yourself in the public records.
This isn’t propaganda. This is what has actually happened.
Send a message to town leaders that you want a strategic, future-focused and financially responsible plan for Ipswich.
