After an extensive scouting process, town officials have selected a location to erect a brand-new public safety building, which will house Ridgefield’s police and fire departments. While the topic has been discussed for years, interest for the project renewed when former state representative John Frey joined the Board of Police Commissioners. The Ridgefield Fire Department has been headquartered at Catoonah Street for more than 100 years, but its proximity to Main Street limits any sort of physical expansion. Both chiefs said their departments would benefit from moving into a new facility that could adequately accommodate their first responders. The project does not have a set price tag, with crews years away from breaking ground. First Selectman Rudy Marconi explained that the town would not move forward on constructing the joint facility until 2023, when a debt service from prior school improvements “comes to an end,” he said.
