Groton — Now that voters have approved a $14.3 million project to improve athletic facilities at Robert E. Fitch High School, the town will begin looking for a consultant to design the project with plans to begin construction in 2027. The town is developing a Request for Qualifications for consultants and plans early next year to advertise and receive qualification submittals, according to a tentative timeline provided by Town Manager John Burt. The town then plans to review and interview the most qualified consultants, develop a scope of services and negotiate consultant fees, according to the schedule. The six-month design and permitting process is slated to begin in May 2026.
