Truth About Hammond School?
Not a lot of truth out there about anything to do with this town-owned property. The Boys and Girls Club of New Bedford claims they broke the lease because of the poor condition of the school. There's a lot that needs to be done there, the town has let it go to ruin. The playground is unsafe and I've made numerous complaints about it. Yet as a town-owned facility it must be put to highest and best use by public processes. Instead, Derek Sullivan made a side deal giving the Wareham Tigers Athletic Association rent-free use of the same interior areas as the club. There was no bidding process. The WTAA is supposed to pay some unspecified amount of utilities but as of the date of a recent FOIA request had not paid a dime. Here are a number of documents related to this deal BGC New Bedford and RFP, deeds https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EMdnErnwGFqme0JAiLcEXkXs-Win61Ib/view?usp=drivesdk License for WTAA https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qUdYwkrBMAozBeY7_gdENqqR8lSJW5Th/view?usp=dr
