Town officials are now focused on getting the new Griswold Senior Community Wellness Center completed. Voters agreed in a referendum May 5 to take $760,000 out of the town’s surplus account to finish the construction project. The referendum passed with 550 in favor of more funding and 280 against.
Work on the Taylor Hill Road complex stopped in mid-March after a funding shortfall was discovered, causing bad feelings among some residents, who claimed mismanagement of funds.
Board of Finance members complained they weren’t made aware of the shortfall until January, and that plans were incomplete when contracts for the project were signed in 2019, after voters approved a $7.5 million bond issue for the work.
