Killingly Community Center’s fate in limbo as issues mount

The Town Council in March declined to move forward with a $16 million bonding proposal that, if approved by residents, would have shifted programming to the town’s former high school on Westfield Avenue and made any repair issues at the Broad Street site moot. Town Manager Mary Calorio said council members were leery of approving two large bonding packages – the council eventually approved a $16 million Killingly Memorial School upgrade plan – in the same year. A November 2018 feasibility study found several issues plaguing the Broad Street site, including a building “not adequate for large events and fully scheduled times.” The center’s infrastructure was judged to be in sound condition, though its original incarnation as a former school means its floor plan largely consists of utility and small storage rooms rather than program-friendly spaces.
