Ridgefield officials are preparing for their second attempt to get the construction of a new public safety building approved. A referendum on the project will be on the ballot in November, though one such vote on the initiative already failed earlier this year. Marconi said the project failed in February’s referendum vote, when it had initially cost $85.6 million. He said due to public feedback, the project is now $8 million cheaper. The changes included taking out a concrete garage, reducing the square footage and reducing the cost of the site work. The $77.4 million building at 36 Old Quarry Road is designed to house both police and fire crews due to their dilapidated stations.
Ridgefield voters rejected a new $85.6M public safety building. Will they vote yes on the revise?
