Selectmen discuss tri-town drone show after inquiries from neighboring towns
Summary
Old Saybrook selectmen reported inquiries from Westbrook and Old Saybrook about the town’s drone show and discussed a proposal to stage a barge-based show viewable from three towns; Chair noted the 2023 price: "it was 25,000 for 200 drones."
The Old Saybrook Board of Selectmen said neighboring towns have asked about the town’s drone show and discussed exploring a tri-town event that could be staged on a barge and viewed from three shorelines.
Chair outlined the logistics and cost history, noting the town contracted 200 drones in a recent show and that "it was 25,000 for 200 drones," but added he expects prices to fall as more operators enter the market. He suggested splitting a larger show among the towns to increase scale and reduce per-town costs.
A committee member said the idea is feasible and encouraged getting a quote to see what a larger coordinated event would cost. There was no motion to commit funds; the discussion concluded with direction to gather pricing and interest from neighboring communities.
