The Planning Commission unanimously approved plans to build a 6,000-square foot emergency dispatch center at 32 W. Main St. next to the police station. The project includes merging the city-owned lots at 32 and 50 West Main Street to create a 16,093-square foot lot between the Meriden Senior Center and the Meriden Police Department. Construction is expected to begin in July and last 14 months, representatives said. The original project costs are around $4.8 million, with the city making up the $800,000 difference after a 2021 state grant. The upsides for the West Main Street property, in addition to lower construction costs, were seamless equipment and systems transitions as well as better parking options.
