Windsor Locks asks voters for up to $4.8M more for new police station, senior center

Voters will decide Tuesday whether to allow the town to borrow up to $4.8 million to fully fund a new police headquarters and senior center on Spring Street. Back in March 2022, voters approved two referendum questions — both by more than 2-1 margins — to borrow $15.1 million for the police station project and $13.5 million for the senior center. The money was intended to cover construction costs and acquisition of two parcels at 491 and 519 Spring St. Now, voters will choose whether to allow for up to $780,000 in additional bonds for the senior center, and just under $4 million for the police headquarters. Voting will occur from noon to 8 p.m. at the town office building, located at 50 Church St., and Windsor Locks High School on South Elm Street. Harrington said both building projects are ready to go if the additional funds are approved, and are planned to occur simultaneously to further reduce costs. He said construction is expected to take 14 to 16 months, with the senior center anticipated to open shortly before the police station.
