After First Selectman Mark Nickerson said the town may not be required to hold a town meeting vote on an additional $2.1 million needed to complete the police building renovation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he told the selectmen last week that town officials are trying to find a way for residents to provide input. Besides having only until the end of August to sign a contract with low bidder Noble Construction, Nickerson pointed out at last Wednesday’s meeting that officers are still working in less-than-ideal conditions. He has described the cramped building on Main Street being used now as “deplorable” and on Wednesday said the roof doesn’t have more than a year left. He said the renovations to complete the new police building would take nine months to complete.
