Wilton receives $1.4M to prevent flooding at high school sports fields

The town was awarded $1.425 million to cover the design and construction costs of a storm mitigation system for the high school sports complex, Department of Public Works head Frank Smeriglio said.
Smeriglio said the town will work with Boston-based athletic vendor Stantec for the design phase, although the price has not yet been finalized. Once the design for the project is complete, the contract for construction on the high school complex will go out to bid. The total will be used strictly to address storm mitigation in and around the high school complex, according to Smeriglio. The need was first determined after Hurricane Ida severely damaged the turf football field and then-newly unveiled track worth nearly $1 million. The DPW director said Friday the project will be completed in coordination with the Parks and Recreation Department and its director, Steve Pierce.
