The Board of Finance has put off action on a $1.8 million request for a range of capital projects, including a new roof for much of Town Hall. Even as it delayed action on the other requests, however, the board approved a $130,000 allocation for a new backhoe for the Highway Department. If the capital projects list is proved next month, Spina said he is “confident the roof repair project can be completed in this construction season.” The finance board postponed action until its May 27 meeting. The remaining items include $1.005 million for replacement of the roof that covers the Town Hall atrium and gymnasium, the Senior Center, and the Cromwell Belden Public Library. Officials are particularly intent about installing a new roof over the library, which reopened last year following a $3.2 million renovation.
