There is a special town meeting tonight in Redding to discuss borrowing for two items.  The informational meeting tonight is about a proposed emergency communications tower and a road reconstruction plan. 

Originally there was going to be a vote at the meeting, but residents instead will be called on to vote at a referendum being held July 22nd.  That machine vote coincides with a referendum on the roof replacement project at Joel Barlow High School. 

Redding officials are proposing $300,000 for a new 120-foot communications tower at the police department .  $6.73 million over four years has been proposed for an additional 20-miles in the road reconstruction plan.  Both projects would be funded through short term borrowing pending long term financing. 

The meeting tonight is at 7:30pm at the Redding Community Center.
