Selectmen update Main Street redevelopment, train station work and property bids
Summary
First Selectman Jon Savino told the board Trinity Financial expects to begin demolition related to the WL Commons/Main Street project on April 1; the historic train station interior is nearly complete and an RFP for leasing is planned; four Chestnut Street properties will be put out to bid to fund engineering work.
At the Feb. 17 meeting First Selectman Jon Savino updated the board on several ongoing property and infrastructure items tied to the Main Street/WL Commons project.
Savino said Trinity Financial still expects to begin demolition of buildings on April 1. He reported the historic train station interior is 99.9% finished with only touch-up painting remaining, and that exterior concrete work is the State's responsibility; the town plans to issue an RFP to lease the interior space. He also said the town will put four Chestnut Street properties out to bid and use the revenue for engineering to complete Main Street from the Route 140 bridge north. Separately, the town engineer will submit a response to CRCOG this week about the canal path.
Savino asked department directors to review the 'Big List' of department claims and send items to the First Selectman for submission to the State. No demolition permits or leases were approved at the meeting; the statements were status updates and next steps.
