GREENFIELD If the City Council approves money for new radios for the fire and police departments, Greenfield should be able to connect to the statewide radio system sometime early next year.
The council will do a first reading of the request from fire and police at its meeting Wednesday and will vote on the issue in January.
Greenfield Fire Chief Robert Strahan said if all goes well, $163,000 will be provided from the city’s free cash account to fund the capital project, which has been discussed by the two departments for more than a year.
