Construction is nearing completion on the Bartlem Park South project, a nearly $8 million expansion of the town’s major park on South Main Street across from Cheshire High School, officials said. New playfields, including a new turf field with lighting, are done. Work is expected to be complete near the end of the year on a new bandshell, officials said. The total cost of the project is $7.9 million. Of that, $2 million came from American Rescue Plan Act funds, plus $750,000 in additional state grants. Contractor DeRita & Sons Construction Co. began site work and excavation for the project in March 2023. Kimball said in two recent reports that most of the construction was nearing completion, with final topsoiling and landscaping being done this fall. Scoreboard footings were being installed in September. The town’s electrical work was done and approved by town inspectors. Paving was complete with the exception of final work around the bandshell area.
