Newtown residents approve community center funding, plan

Newtown residents have approved funding for a community center.  The vote was 1,628 in favor of the plan for the Fairfield Hills campus, with a 1,205 count of No votes.  Turnout was about 16-percent. 

 

A proposal must now be drawn up to send the project out to bid.  The proposal calls for a programmable space of approximately 13,000 square foot.  The aquatics center would have a zero-entry pool and an 8-lane, 50 meter pool. 

 

$10 million donated by GE coupled with $5 million in bond money will build the center.  An additional $5 million from GE will be used to run the facility for at least five years.
