Norwalk ADA committee trims capital request to $336,000, prioritizes Gallaher Mansion elevator
Summary
The Norwalk City ADA Committee reduced its fiscal-year capital submittal to $336,000 after a citywide 30% budget cut. The committee said it will prioritize an estimated $400,000 elevator at Gallaher Mansion and delay lower-priority work at the Benjamin Franklin Community Center if needed.
The Norwalk City ADA Committee on Wednesday adjusted its capital budget submittal to $336,000, a 30% reduction from the $480,000 figure the committee had prepared, after a city finance directive to lower department requests across the board.
Bill, who chaired the meeting, told committee members the chief financial officer instructed all departments to cut requested budgets by 30% because of concerns about the city's bond rating. He and Keena McMahon, the committee's new human services director, confirmed the committee will record the $336,000 request for fiscal year 27.
