Upcoming Town Meetings

We are now officially in "budget season". The various town boards, especially the Boards of Finance, Selectmen and Education, are putting together budgets for 2010/2011, and will be presenting this information to the town at the Annual Budget Hearing and for your approval at the Annual Budget Meeting. The hearing is currently going to be held on Tuesday, April 13, and the Annual Budget Meeting and the Annual Town Meeting are scheduled for May 4.

The Fire District, Regional Refuse District 1, and Northwestern Regional 7 will be presenting their budgets at their individual meetings, which will be separately scheduled by each of the districts.

You will be receiving more information in the coming weeks -- please participate in all of these meetings so that your views can be heard.

Pleasant Valley Bridge Painting

We have just received news from the Connecticut Department of Transportation that the bids were opened this afternoon for painting the bridge over the Farmington River in Pleasant Valley. In parallel, the bridge on Route 219 in New Hartford, south of Ratlum Road, will also be painted.

There is a lot of work to be done before the state and the contractor put signatures on paper, but if there are no contractual surprises or complications, the Department hopes to have a signed contract by April, with a construction start in early May. Please understand that things can still go wrong, but we will all hope for the best. During the construction, our bridge will remain open, but will be restricted to one lane of traffic.

This project has been in the works for about 3 years, so it’s terrific that it appears about to happen.
