June storm costs Ridgefield $100,000 in damage repairs

A June storm that knocked out power to about half of Ridgefield because of the severe wind cost the town about $100,000 in damage repair.  The Ridgefield Press reports that the Board of Selectmen heard at their most recent meeting that wind of more than 90 miles an hour took down so many trees it took weeks to clean up.  Officials say all of that price tag, except about $3,000 in highway department overtime, went to clean up efforts.  First Selectman Rudy Marconi had declared a State of Emergency during the storm because of the road closures and the power outages.  The $100,000 will come from Ridgefield's General Fund surplus.
