Historic clock to remain on Main Street in Ridgefield

An historic clock in Ridgefield, which hasn't worked for the past decade, will stay where it is on Main Street.  The Rotary Club of Ridgefield asked the Board of Selectmen about restoring the clock, and also proposed relocating it to a more prominent location.  The Board has decided it will remain as is.  The clock was put up in December of 1958 by the American Women’s Voluntary Services, a group active during World War II providing rides to people who helped with the war effort such as  military personnel, blood donors and canning drive workers. Selectwoman Barbara Manners said during the board meeting that a lot of people feel attached to the clock where it is now.  Selectman Bob  Hebert says many people have expressed interest in seeing it restored.  The estimated cost of repairing the clock’s internal wiring, according to the Rotary, is 22-thousand dollars.  The Rotary also wants to get an evaluation on the structural integrity of the pedestal.
