2018-2019 Road Work Plan to be discussed at Board of Selectmen meeting July 16
First Selectman Dan Rosenthal would like the residents of Newtown to know that he and Director of Public Works, Fred Hurley, will be presenting the 2018/2019 road work plan at the next regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen (BOS) this Monday, July 16, at 7:30p in the Council Chamber of the Newtown Municipal Center. This meeting will be posted later this week and is open to the public.
In the current fiscal year, which began on July 1st, the total amount allocated to roads is $3.25m, which represents an increase of $750k over last year. The approach this year will combine paving and chip sealing. In total nearly 25 miles of road will see work in this budget versus roughly 10 last year. This is not to suggest that all of our road problems will be solved, but it represents a commitment to that end.
