The town is pursuing a proposal to renovate the athletic fields and facilities at Robert E. Fitch High School. The Town Council at its Committee of the Whole on Tuesday voted 7-1, with Councilor Juliette Parker opposed, to recommend the town bond $14.3 million for the design and construction of athletic fields to be voted on at the Aug. 5 Town Council meeting. It would then go the Representative Town Meeting on Aug. 13 and then to voters at a November referendum for final approval. The proposal would include the following Fitch High School facilities: track and field stadium renovation, including a synthetic multi-use field, eight-lane track with throwing and jumping facilities, grandstand with press box, lighting, public restrooms, concessions, ticketing, storage building, and parking and driveway, according to a town document. The $14.3 million in funding is the first of a four-phase, $60 million project to upgrade town and school fields.
