The planned Veterans and First Responders Center, first proposed in 2020, appears on track for a groundbreaking in the spring. The former veterans building was condemned in 2017 due to a failed foundation. The planned new center will take its place on 1 Veterans Circle at Kaatz Pond. The project was initially estimated to cost around $2.5 million, but now has an estimated cost of about $4 million, officials said. According to the project’s website, the center will be 5,500-square-feet and will serve over 30,000 veterans regionally. According to Baldwin, the committee has received $2.7 million in funding so far including: $1.5 million in state bonding, $750,000 in federal grant funding, a $250,000 grant from Democratic State Rep. Sarah Keitt and $200,000 from the town.
