Construction of the new Wilton police station is now slated to finish at the end of the year, with communication issues on the work prompting a delay of the $19 million project. The contractor, A. Secondino & Son Inc. of Branford, has asked about a completion date in the fall, Department of Public Works Director Frank Smeriglio said at a recent meeting. The town has not yet approved that nor discussed the implications of a later finishing date, he said. But DPW Assistant Director/Facilities Manager Jeff Pardo said the new police station is more than 50% complete and will likely take even longer than Secondino predicts. The original schedule called for the project to be done this summer, but there is still work to do on the roof and the interior, where 90% of the sheetrock is up but is not ready for paint. The windows are still covered in plastic. Pardo said he’s tried to express his concerns and talk to the project manager from Secondino, but the project manager shows up only to virtual meetings “maybe once a month” and never walks through the building. “It’s not a good thing,” he said. “I’ve never had a project manager not walk through the building.”
