Newtown is holding a special town meeting tonight prior to a public hearing and a Board of Selectmen meeting. 

Newtown residents are being asked to authorize $975,000 to purchase new equipment for the fire department.  $1.5 million is also on the Town Meeting agenda.  Residents are being asked to allocate that amount toward a new Newtown Hook and Ladder fire headquarters.  The last item on the agenda is $5 million for remediation and demolition of some buildings on the Fairfield Hills campus. 

The Town Meeting is at 7pm, followed by a 7:30pm public hearing about a proposed lease to The Newtown Parent Connection for use of buildings #2 and #4 Washington Circle on the Fairfield Hills property. 

The Board of Selectmen meeting will follow immediately after.
