A Message From First Selectman Bindelglass
Good afternoon, Happy Labor Day weekend, and welcome back to all of our students. I wanted to repeat this from last week. In 2023, we received the final report on a consultant review of our emergency services. The most important finding was our need to upgrade communications for our fire department. Our current equipment is severely outdated to the point of being unrepairable and our coverage in town is inadequate. (Knowing our cell phone issues, no one should be surprised about the coverage issue.) As one potential vendor pointed out recently, we have been trying to solve this problem as a town since 2006! After more than a year of study and planning, we have selected a vendor and are proceeding to contract negotiations. We have discovered the need to include the police department as well. The total cost to get new equipment for our first responders and to upgrade transmission for better coverage is $3 million. That project is essentially “shovel ready.”
